Hi,
How did you diagnose the pain as kidney pain?? If it is a back or abdominal pain, it could be due to many other reasons. Yes, any pain or stress will increase blood glucose levels. You must meet a doctor who can arrange few tests including urine tests to look for evidence of stones, infection etc.
