Microalbumin, Random, Urine. Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of diabetes and is characterized by proteinuria (normal urinary albumin excretion is <30 mg/day; overt proteinuria is >300 mg/day). Before overt proteinuria develops, albumin excretion increases in those diabetic patients who are destined to develop diabetic nephropathy.
Soaking shortens the cooking time and makes the beans more digestible. To soak, cover the washed beans with four times their volume of water (no salt yet), then choose one of these soaking techniques. 1  Normal soak: Leave the beans to soak for at least 8-10 hours (larger beans need more time). 2  Quick soak: Bring the beans to a boil for one minute, cover, and let sit for one hour.
Eight Hour Soak. Navy beans should be soaked in cool water for eight hours. For best results, use a large bowl or pan. You must refrigerate the beans while they soak, otherwise they will ferment. By soaking the beans prior to cooking, you will shorten the cooking time.
