    Stress echocardiogram

    Type 1. ..Has anyone had one of these? As it's deliberately increasing your heart rate as exercise does, how do I judge what to do before I.e. carbs/insulin?.. Can you wear a sensor? I will ask but just wondered if anyone knew. Thanks!

    Hi, a urine test has just shown my albunin/creatinine ratio as 3.16, should be less than 3. Anyone had this borderline figure? What treatment did you have. Can it be caused by a UTI? Does it mean kidney failure?
