My blood test numbers have either stayed the same or improved. I am in normal range on basically everything. My BUN numbers have never strayed from the 7-9 range in TEN years. What harms kidneys are elevated glucose readings. If you want to join a group that is just for diabetics who low-carb, I can tell you how. After reading post after post from people who have returned to good health and lost oodles of weight, you may become reassured about these concerns. This group is not specifically about low-carbing, but as you can see, many people here have found that this approach works well for them. So you may find reassurance from posts here. Or if you want to hear from yet another group that is specifically for low-carbing diabetics, I can tell you how to sign up. I just had another microalbumin, and again, it was less than 10 (anything beneath 20 is normal). I eat very high-protein, and all my numbers look good.
