Hi there.

Hi protein levels in a a diabetic may sometime indicate the kidneys are not functioning as they should or that the liver is not filtering as they should.

Protein in urine?  Means ketoacidosis; high blood sugars (over 250) cause protein spilling over into the urine.  Dangerous for kidneys.  How are his blood sugars?  What's his A1C?
