Hi,
Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys, causing damage to their ability to filter waste products from the blood. Fluctuating creatinine levels can be a sign of worsening kidney function. It is important to monitor his blood sugar and blood pressure levels regularly, as well as his kidney function through urine and blood tests.
In addition to his current medication regimen, lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in salt and protein, regular exercise, and weight management can also help manage diabetes and prevent further kidney damage.
If his creatinine levels continue to fluctuate, his doctor may consider adjusting his medication regimen or referring him to a nephrologist (kidney specialist) for further evaluation and management. It is important to follow his doctor's recommendations closely and attend regular follow-up appointments.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
