The compliance of diabetic patients is very poor. In addition to the knowledge of the various stages of acceptance of the disease as described by A.

Methods: A total of 68 individuals participated in the study, including 34 diabetic patients (17 with moderate physical activity (MPA) and 17 with low physical activity (LPA)) and 34 healthy controls (17 with MPA and 17 with LPA).

This systematic review evaluates the comparative efficacy and safety of antihypertensive therapies, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and calcium channel blockers (CCBs), in managing hypertension among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. A comprehensive search adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted across five databases, identifying eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the last five years. The included studies examined diverse populations, ranging from pediatric to elderly CKD patients, with interventions tailored to specific subgroups, including those with proteinuria or diabetic kidney disease.
