Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Increased creatinine can indicate abnormal kidney function. In addition to this measurement, your doctor may also check your urine to determine if any protein is present.
This is also an indicator of issues with kidney function.
The best way of preventing any further damage would be tight control of your diabetes and also control of your blood pressure.
You doctor may consider a kidney protective drugs from the ACE or ARB drug family.
I hope this helps
