Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modification is essential.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. You need to be on regular medication. Telma is additionally protective on the kidneys and should help. You should get your blood sugar levels as well as blood HbA1c level monitored. It is essential to consume a fiber rich diet and to briskly walk regularly in the morning. Salt restriction is advisable.

Let me know if I could help further.
