2. Control blood pressure: hypertension plays an important role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy, and controlling blood pressure in the early stage can reduce proteinuria, delay the decline of renal function, and protect renal function. Preferred angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor antagonists, such as captopril, timosartan, irbesartan and so on.
