I'm a T2 diabetic for 15 + years. I am currently taking Glucovance 5/500 2 pills morning and 2 pills night, Avandia 4 mg. 1 morning and 1 night, plus other meds for other problems. I had lab work done the other day, first time since starting my LC diet 2 months ago. Total Chol was 199, HDL was 49, LDL was 100 and Triglycerides was 249 (down from over 300 the last test). My A1C was the best it's ever been, 6.6, down from 7.0 the last test and my highest was 13.1.

My worry and question is, the dr. said it looks like I'm spilling some protein into my urine and wants me to do a 24 hr. urine test. Does eating LC/high protein cause this? Dr. says no, he's worried that my kidneys are failing, but they've always been fine. All the rest of my blood work was good. I had a pretty big meal the night before of bbq pork ribs and beef brisket.

Anyone have any knowledge of this? I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks,
deb
