Hi Irish,
If you have protein in the urine, you need to have further tests to establish what exactly is wrong.
Are you aware of having a urinary tract infection(UTI)? UTIs are the most common reason for a spill of protein into the urine.
You really need a blood test to find out your actual kidney function. If your doctor won't order this test, you need to change doctors!
I don't think anyone can give you anymore help until you know that your kidneys are okay.
They probably are - and if they are, I would suggest you buy and read Dr Bernstein's Diabetic Solution. Dr Bernstein is a diabetic himself and many diabetics have not only lost weight, but also improved their diabetes using his plan.
If you do in fact have a problem with your kidneys, you will need to be under specialist care and follow his/her dietary recommendations. I strongly suspect you are just fine or the doctor would not have mentioned low carb.
All the best to you, matey!
