Dear Madam ,
Thanks for reverting back.
Well looking into your problem I see that you are suffering from diabetes since 10 years so there is a very likely possibility that you might be having diabetic nephropathy .
For this a complete kidney function test , urine for microalbumin, urine 24 hour protein is done . Your treating doctor has ordered investigations for its evaluation.
Wish you a good health .
