it sounds like your kidneys are in good shape. I would not be worried. You are at risk, however, for diabetic kidney disease. One of the best ways to protect your kidneys is with a low-dose medication called the lisinopril. Lisinopril is a medication that has been shown to protect the kidneys against diabetes and high blood pressure. It is a antihypertensive medication. Another way to protect the kidneys would be to control your blood pressure. Yoi should also try to control your diet and diabetes very well. Ultimately, diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of kidney disease and therefor you should try to control both optimally.
