I am 45 yr old Type 2 diabetic and 6'3" @ 227 lbs (just dropped from 268) w/ BUN of 25 mg/dL and creatinine of 1.43 mg/dL; very active, swim, lift, walk (hate running), bike occasionally; have been taking Herbalife F1 and protein, with their aloe and tea 2x/day with 1 meal and snacking in between to maintain my sugar levels; can this affect or elevate my creatinine levels? I am on metformin (2/day), atorvastatin (1/day), verapamil (1/day), fenofibrate (1/day)--my BP and cholesterol/triglycerides are now normal--can any of that affect creatinine? I am concerned because my doctor is going to place me on yet another pill for the creatinine (ACE inhibitor?); thinking about a second opinion real soon...........
