| Not sure about too much protein. I know common belief states that too much can be harmful to the kidneys, but I haven't seen any fluctuation in my kidney function tests at all since going low carb (which means higher protein and fat).
But I don't believe that our kidneys are stressed just because we are T2. I think if you don't control things, then they become stressed. I have no reason to believe that my kidneys are any more or any less stressed than Joe Blow at this point.
My BP is great (108/65), by resting heart rate is great (57) and my glucoses have been great (A1c = 5.1). And my kidney function tests have all been golden.
T2's usually a number of many things mucked up in the metabolic pathways that cause abnormalities all over the body - liver function (high LFT's), kidney function, BP, Lipid profile, inflammation markers, etc, etc, etc. But I believe that getting a firm grasp on glucose control can correct many, if not all, of those things. Especially if control is grabbed early enough in the progression of the disease.
