I’m diabetic too. My eGFR is 38. I have chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3. There might not be any noticeable symptoms at this stage and many Dr.’s don’t seem concerned about it. I guess I was more aware of what kidney problems could become. My father-in-law had end stage kidney disease and needed dialysis until he had a kidney transplant. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the two most common causes of kidney problems. I have an endocrinologist to help care for my diabetes and I started seeing a nephrologist in 2008. I learned that one lab test is not that meaningful. Looking at the trend in tests over time is more helpful. I suggest that the next time you see your Dr. you can ask about your lab results and ask s/he recommends.
