I thought I was managing my diabetes quite well but have just got an abnormal blood result, with a diagnosis of Microalbuminuria. My ACR (albumin/creatinine ratio) was 4.3 mmol/l. I know it means my kidneys are not working as well as they should. 18 months ago I had several bouts of infection and at one stage I was in AKI Stage 1 (acute kidney injury). After antibiotics my kidney function returned to normal, albeit in the upper ranges. I was put on Canagliflozin 6 months ago, and I know that affects the composition of urine - I pee out excess glucose. My GP appointment (the first available) is not for another 4 weeks. In the meantime can anyone offer me any information and advice on how to manage until the appointment? Advice on foods etc. I already aim for less than 90gm carbs daily and do 3 exercise classes a week. Thanks.
