Anything is possible

Is your question "could diabetes be causing a kidney issue" then the answer is yes. But you could have also simply slept on a bad angle and got a kink in your back muscles near your kidney

If the condition persists more than a day or two, see your doctor - if it is serious you don't want to waste time guessing or asking on the internet

Back pain can be a symptom of various conditions, including kidney infections. However, it's important to note that back pain alone does not confirm a kidney infection. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of infections, including urinary tract infections, which can lead to kidney infections if not treated properly.

Back pain can be a symptom of various conditions, including kidney infections. However, it's important to note that back pain alone does not confirm a kidney infection. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of infections, including urinary tract infections, which can lead to kidney infections if not treated properly.

If you suspect a kidney infection, it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They may recommend blood and urine tests to check for infections and other kidney-related issues.
