Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Your father has diabetic nephropathy with CKD.(chronic kidney disease).
This will never be reversed to normal function,with acupuncture.
If you see an Urologist or Nephrologist,he will receive scientific treatment.
That's advisable for a longer happier life and may save his kidney even.
Wishing him well.
