I’m T2 for a year and a week and I’m now having severe lower back pains and left side lower pains as well, could that be kidney failure..?
Someone please give me more light
And yes my sugars range from 4.3 to 7.8
Doesn't have to be kidney failure, could be a kidney stone though. Could be a lot of things, but... Yeah... Maybe get in touch with 111 or the GP. Sooner rather than later?
I've been passing stones for a long time now, and some come through easier than others. You might be well served with medication for either pain or making passing a potential stone easier. And if it's not a stone, which is very much an option too, you need to know what's going on. Could be an infection or whatever. Loads can happen in a kidney that's sorted right-quick with antibiotics or something, but
does need attention to prevent things going from bad to worse. So don't rely on a forum to diagnose you, as we're not allowed to do anything of the sort, and with good reason.
Get help from people who can actually get you sorted with a scan, tests and/or medication.
Best of luck!
