In case of long standing uncontrolled diabetes the kidneys can be damaged. Your high reports are suggesting damage your kidneys. You need to deal with this very carefully.

First of all if not done, please visit a kidney specialist. He may ask for some more investigations to see how your kidneys are functioning. You might need to take some drugs to prevent progress of this problem and save your kidneys. Your doctor will advise them.

2. Pain in Rt.Heel:

The commonest possibility in your case is inflammation of bursa (a cushion like structure in heel above bone).This can occur frequently in diabetics. Commonly it is known as bursitis. In some cases a condition called Plantar fasciitis can also lead to this.

Hi,

Good hear from again sir.

It is good that you have already consulted kidney specialist for this.

The drugs given to you are fine and they will help to preserve your kidneys. There is no drug which directly lowers creatinine levels; the drugs given help to protect the kidneys improve the kidney function and this all in turn reduce the creatinine as the kidneys do well.

In all, the most important thing is control of blood sugar.

Please do not take any analgesics or any other drug without consulting your doctor to prevent further damage to your kidneys. Pain killers are the most XXXXXXX drugs for you.

Protein intake needs to be reduced. As per your weight and stage of disease the doctor will decide how much protein to give.

Following foods are XXXXXXX in potassium. Please avoid them.
1.     Dairy products such as milk, cheese, pudding, yogurt and ice cream.
2.     Dried beans and peas such as kidney beans, split peas and lentils.
3.     Nuts and peanut butter.
4.     Beverages such as cocoa, beer and cola soft drinks

Normally the kidney specialist gives detailed diet advice, if not given it is better that you get in touch with a dietitian for comprehensive advice.

Hope I have answered all your queries. Please accept my answer if you do not have any further queries.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
