My understanding is that most doctors begin ACE inhibitor in people with Type 2 diabetes when they are first diagnosed because they have probably had diabetes for some length of time. In children, why don’t doctors start ACE inhibitors in the early years to protect the kidneys, instead of waiting until there is a problem (microalbumin in urine)? Why wait until the damage is beginning?
