Im still aware of discomfort in both feet but on a scale of 100 only about 1.so way better .don't know about kidneys is there any signs of symptoms I should be aware of?
I've come back on the forum since about March after lapsing control for a few years
My fasting figures seem to average 7 ish returning to 5 ish pre evening meal.
I've put on weight over the last few years again which I guess haven't helped.

Although I was kept informed about deteriorating function for over 30 years, I was not aware of any symptoms until I started getting gout and cellulitis. I also appeared jaundiced towards the end. Do you attend a clinic on a regular basis? As your gout should be in your notes, I would guess your kidney function is monitored. Judging by your posts I would doubt that you need to panic. Keep well!
