How can I save my failing kidneys?
Q: I am 56 years old, diabetic from the last 26 years and insulin dependent from the last 20 years. I am presently taking Humulin 70/30, 50+30 units, Neudipar 500 mg, Tritace 5 mg, Piozer 30 mg and Diamicron 30 mg. My sugar level remains 120-150 normally and blood pressure remains 140-85. During my last blood test it was observed that the blood urea was 48 and creatinine was 1.1 and protein was ++ in the urine. I think this indicated that my kidneys are going to fail so I stopped protein rich diets. Can you please suggest me any medication to stop/delay this kidney failure?
