Does Low Creatinine Level In A Diabetic Indicate Kidney Damage?

I am 70 year young man. I have type2 diabetes for last 15 years at least. I take Metformin 2+2 tabs to control my diabetes. My A1C result is 0.070. My blood creatinine is normal. My random urine test for microalbumin and creatinine is as follows: Microalbumin ..........Less than 5MG/L Normal Value is below 15 Creatinine..............1.5 MMOL/L Norma Value is 5-----13 Does the low value of creatinine indicates any kidney demage. Is my diabetes under control or not.

its normal to have a low creatinine levels,This is called stage of hyperfiltration.
There will not be any kidney damage in this stage.its a normal happening in progression of diabetes type 2.
considering your age as a factor its quite normal
nothing to worry about that.
