I'm 52 and I've been told I have diabetes with a creatinine level of 1.4. My urine creatinine is 15, which I understand is normal since it's below 30, and there are no proteins found. My HbA1c is 7.9. The Lifespan clinic suggested I see a kidney specialist because they believe my creatinine levels aren't related to my diabetes. Can you help me understand why my creatinine might be high if it's not due to diabetes?

With your medical history of diabetes, creatinine level of 1.4, urine creatinine of 15, and HbA1c of 7.9, it is important to follow up with a kidney specialist for further evaluation and management. It is crucial to address any potential kidney issues to prevent complications and maintain your overall health.
