The condition can also lead to accelerated cardiovascular disease and macrovascular complications. In Egypt, DM is a dilemma and a fast-expanding concern. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the prevalence of DM among Egyptian adults is 15.2%, which may be an underestimation.Public awareness, knowledge, and preventive practices are crucial in mitigating the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy.
