The purpose of this research is to evaluate outcomes of physiologic insulin re-sensitization (PIR) in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
The primary objective of this study is to assess the outcomes of Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR) treatment compared to standard of care (SOC) on renal patients with a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (stages 3b, 4 and 5) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
