James, If my kidney disease is diabetes related, and we don't really know, It's probably because I walked around for several years with uncontrolled bg levels. They estimate I' had it for possibly 3-5 years before dx. In the hospital they feed you all kinds if liquids that keep your levels up. I also had a pretty serious surgery at the time that could have played a part.
