[QUOTE="ChrisMaleType1, post: 2368397, member: 22857"] Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I started a low-carb ala Dr Bernstein diet late 2019. I'm quite slim, I weigh about 57 kg, I exercise occasionally. I've had some proteinuria almost since the time I was diagnosed with type 1 in 2007, though it has usually been kept at bay. My previous consultant blames himself for it getting worse because he didn't put me on an ace inhibitor, for it's renoprotective as well as it's antihyperintensive qualities, quickly enough. My last urea result was 9.4 mmol/l. It has been a bit high now almost consistently for 15 months (please see picture below). I started the low carb diet eating about 135 g of protein per day but I was losing weight so I'm now eating 165-180 g a day. Should I reduce the protein? If so, should I increase the fat and does fat give the body energy? Or should I increase the carbs? I go through phases of eating dairy. I think my high urea results started a bit before began the low-carb diet but could the diet be making my kidneys work too hard? Here's a picture of my urea test results: [URL='https://ibb.co/FBf8gkK'][IMG]https://i.ibb.co/p3s4J6x/urea-screenshot.png[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
