What is the relationship between diabetes and creatinine level?

Q. What is the relation between diabetes and creatinine? My mother was diagnosed with kidney problem and infection in her urine/blood. A nephrologist cleared out the infection she had but by that time her creatinine level had gone up to 8. The doctor prescribed Endoxin and Wysolone medication. After that her haemoglobin and white cells went beyond the range. In 2 subsequent visits doctor checked her creatinine which was found to be 4.9 & 5. Her sugar was found to be 536 and the doctor said that this was because of Wysolone hence he reduced the dose from 25 to 15 mg. After that her sugar levels came down to 430. Recently the doctor advised her to take insulin with 4,4,4 units daily (3 times) to maintain her sugar levels & asked her to go on a strict diet. When we measured it after 3 days after stating insulin, her sugar level came down to 230. We consulted our doctor so he increased the insulin dose as 6,4,4. Her creatinine level still varies between 4.5 to 4.9. I need your opinion about the same. Can her creatinine & glucose levels come down to normal in future with the current medication & diet? Will she face any other problem/complications in future and what precautions should we take to avoid further complications? My mother is 56 years old and weighs 66kgs. She has high blood pressure since 10 years and is taking ATANOL-50.
