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.
There is the famous quick-soak method, which works well: rinse and pick over your beans, then put them in a pot and cover them by 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil, boil for one minute, then remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and allow it to stand for an hour. At this point, you're ready to cook the beans to completion. Many cooks also swear by this method to help reduce the, ahem, musicality of beans, and discard the soaking liquid.
