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.
Allow ten cups of cold water for every pound of dried beans, and let the beans soak for 12 to 24 hours. Rinse several times before putting the beans in a large pot and covering them with three inches of cold water. Bring the water to a boil, skimming off any rising foam.
