No: Diabetes deals with the Insulin secreting cells of your pancreas. Diabetes can cause kidney damage. But kidney damage is not the cause of diabetes. I agree with holly's answer. There are other ways to test whether or not you have diabetes. If you are conned you should talk with your doctor about them.

2 separate problems: Diabetes is the disease that is affecting Insulin producing cells in the pancreas. It will affect on how well your body handling/regulating carbohydrates/sugar from your diet. Diabetes can cause dysfunction on many organs including your kidney. However kidney problem is not equivalent to diabetes. There are many other things that may injure/ affect the kidney function beside diabetes.
