Hi,
Your high eGFR could be probably from hypertension. In hypertension transmitting pressure into afferent arteriole can be increased. So eGFR can be increased. I suggest you to control your blood pressure and sugar with regular medication. Additionally I suggest urine protein estimation, urine sugar estimation like investigation for you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
