[QUOTE="Lolagirl, post: 350138, member: 55373"] Hi All, I was diagnosed with T2 on New Years Eve and since then discovered this website and what a help it has been! I have followed the advice on this forum as I have had little help from my Dotors. I am low carbing, I havent touched a sweet or chocolate, started to excercise more and am happy to have lost a stone in six weeks. I thought I was doing really well then I got called in to the Doctors this morning..... Aparently there was something wrong with my urine results which they needed to discuss. I saw a Nurse who said that the results seem fine but Dr Cooper wants to put me on BP tablets. I asked how they could tell my BP from a urine sample and why I needed tablets because I dont have high BP. He said it was because I have high protein levels in my urine which coud be kidney disease and that I must go on BP tablets to protect my kidneys. I had been to see the nurse with a suspected water infection before christmas but she got so carried away with the diabetes that the infection was never treated. I asked if it could still be an infection rather than kidney disease and he wasnt sure so finally agreed to give me 3 days of antibiotics. I have to go back on Friday to see the DN - not that she will be much help as she doesnt seem to know very much. Yet again I have had to refer to this forum for some advice because the doctors dont explain anything. I have read that they can diagnose kidney disease through a blood test so I am going to ask for that - Is there anything else I should be asking for? [/QUOTE]
