  1. BMI, body mass index; eGFR, modification of diet in renal disease study-glomerular filtration rate; ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio;ACEI/ARB, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/Angiotensin II receptor blockers; CCB, Calcium channel blocker; NSS, neuropathy symptom score; NDS, neuropathy disability score.
