If you are losing protein in your urine from many years of of having diabetes, and your wondering if you should eat more protien to replace it, the answer is no.

The reason you are losing the protein is spilling over so bad is because your kidneys are damaged from many years of  high sugar and high blood pressure.The filters in your kidneys are like a screen so to speak, filtering out wastes in your blood .This is one of the diabetes symptoms that causes great harm to the kidneys.After the long damage to the filters in the kidneys, it lets the protein escape , which is supposed to stay in the body and only let water through.So by adding more protien is not in your favor ,the waste products alone from the protein is very stressful to the kidneys.

By reducing the amount of protein you eat daily , will help greatly in slowing the damage to your kidneys. You must keep track of  the food you eat daily especially the amounts of protein. Start reading labels on everything, or talk to a dietician for your meal planning to reduce the overall protein but gives you essential proteins and amounts you need.
