Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 --- My husband has protein in his urine and had to limit the amount of protein he consumes. He has 24 hr urine tests done every other month now, they were every month. Looks like it stabilized, not getting worse. There was no trace of it in my urine when the test was done a couple of months ago. madge In diabetes_int@y..., Phyllis Norwood <phyllis@t...> wrote: > I felt compelled to share this experience with all of you.
