App study reveals hidden kidney risks in diabetes patients

This study looked at data from 348 people with type 2 diabetes in Germany who use the myTherapy app. Researchers wanted to see how many had high levels of a protein called albumin in their urine, which is a sign of kidney damage. They also tracked how these levels changed over a year. The study did not test any new treatments—it simply observed existing data from routine care to better understand kidney health in this group.
