They don't x-ray yer kidneys - wouldn't show them anything - it'll be kidney malfunction I expect, so blood/pee tests will have shown that, and that's more and different blood tests and/or pee tests and maybe if they think there could be damage and/or stones - a scan.

Our son in law (in his 40s) had just been told he has CKD Pete's been telling him ever since he's known him that he doesn't think he drinks enough water, full stop. He doesn't like it see - he's had kidney stones and all sorts, Drinks a bit more then doesn't need to again according to him so he doesn't. He will drink tea but much prefers coffee but only with 3 sugars. Otherwise he won't drink it. Oh or Pepsi, cos it's sweeter than Coke so he reuses Coke. All full sugar of course. We do try and always have, but have all more or less given up cos it causes friction.

Hopefully Lisa has a lot more sense where hers are concerned!
 
Oh - and being T1 would make a LOT more sense, Lisa.

It's good to hear you're back home, nothing like you're own bed , food and some peace and quiet.

Why were you pulled about as treating high blood sugars involves a drip in arm and monitoring?
