I'm glad it's just strep doodlebug2055. Strep is one of those nasty things that can affect all sorts of things in the body. But it is very treatable and that's good.
MonikaT, renal function decline is not uncommon in diabetes patients, particularly as they get older. I know this from family experience. I hope you are a long way from serious loss of kidney function. Pay close attention to the diabetes. It is so debilitating to so many organs and bodily functions. It is one of those things that is cumulative too, so it sneaks up on you. By the time people decide it really is important, it is too late. Too much damage to nerves and organs. The neuropathy from it really is a big issue in the later stages. Diabetes sufferers often cheat to improve their near-term quality of life, relegating the future to well, the future. Be strong!
