No, being diabetic does not mean that you have a kidney disease.
Diabetes melitus can cause the vessels to become narrow and clogged. Without enough blood, the kidneys become damaged and albumin (a type of protein) passes through these filters and ends up in the urine where it should not be.
Unfortunetely, kidney damage cannot be reversed.
It is harmful for both the kidneys and eyes.
All the medicines prescribed by doctor are safe for the kidneys. However, if there is kidney damage then the doctors will prescribe medicines accordingly.
