Glad to hear you had a good holiday! 🙂 I suppose it would really depend on what the problem is - could be an infection or kidney stones and may be unrelated to your diabetes. If it is to do with diabetes/high blood pressure then they usually put you on blood pressure medications such as ramipril, candersartan etc. Some people experience side-effects, but there are lots of different types available so it's relatively easy to change to a different one 🙂

Hope it proves to be something minor 🙂

Please try not to worry. I was I'll after recovering from a car accident 16 years ago and was told by the GP to accept thAt it was my kidneys failing. He was wrong, it was a simple infection and my kidneys are still doing well after 42 years of diabetes🙂 however if it is the early stages of kidney disease they can give you tablets. I hope that everything is ok for you x

I have been given rampiril at a low dose because that is said to repair damage. When caught early enough it is possible to repair damage.
