Diabetes: Two organs that diabetes like are the kidney and the eye (retina). Specially if diabetes is poorly controlled. Your goal should be fasting sugar 100-120, hga1c <7, blood pressure <130/80. Kidney & eye conditions usually do not have gross symptoms until is very advanced. Trust your doctor and repeat the test in a month. See an eye doctor every year , even if you dont have symptoms.

Many reasons: There are many reasons for decreased renal function besides hypertension and diabetes. Your doctor can explain if fully, but some meds will cause problems and other conditions may be present.
