with type 2 diabetes. His kidneys function at 20%, but he has? stated that they have been that way for 10 years...Is that possible? I mean, to actually have been living for 10 years with such compromised kidneys....also, any idea of how long he can live with kidneys functioning at 20%? Thank you.My father does NOT want dialysis, unfortunately, he has stated that he would rather die.... :(

He is a ticking time bomb... those kidneys could shut down at any time... especially for someone who is diabetic.
