Patient's question:
Diabetes has been present for 15 years, and now kidney function is declining, with high creatinine, at 221.Doctor's answer:
Lowering creatinine is not the most important thing; the key is to lower blood sugar. Advice: Only by lowering blood sugar can kidney function damage be effectively prevented. While medications that protect kidney function are symptomatic and cannot truly lower creatinine, only by using insulin treatment at the source can kidneys be effectively protected and the side effects of blood sugar-lowering drugs reduced.
