I am in my 40s and have Type 2 diabetes. I understand kidney failure is a common problem in diabetes, and given my family history of Kidney disease I would like to monitory my kidney function more regularly. I do not have a consistent advise from my GP and others... so would like to understand other viewes.

    I also am type2 and also have diabetes insipidus central. My doctor checks my kidney function every time they do my A1C levels. I'm sure this is done as a general rule here in Canada.

      thank you bella. I only go for my check up once a year, but monitor my glucose level at home every day (my A1C is at 6.4). Curious how often doctor checks in Canada?

    As a general rule for me they check my A1C every three months here in Canada. Where do you live?
