Is it true that type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of kidney failure?
Yes. A reference article states type 2 diabetes is the largest cause of kidney failure in the developed world, and a nephrology review states diabetic kidney disease remains the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide. Other sources confirm diabetes can cause kidney disease but do not establish it as a leading cause.
