I'm dealing with diabetes and my sugar level has hit 560, but strangely, I don't feel any different or have any symptoms. I'm really concerned about this and I could really use some help figuring out a diet plan and an exercise routine. How can I get my sugar levels under control?

Elevated Blood Creatinine and Reduced Kidney Function

Interpreting test results:

  1. High creatinine levels: 5.91 mgdL indicates impaired kidney function.
  2. Shrunken kidneys: Reduced kidney size suggests chronic kidney damage.
  3. Limited kidney function: 5-10% functioning kidneys indicate severe impairment.

Advice:

  1. Follow doctor's advice: Complete the prescribed 1-month medication course.
  2. Lifestyle modifications: Implement changes to slow disease progression:
    • Dietary changes: Limit protein, sodium, and potassium intake.
    • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water.
    • Exercise regularly: Engage in moderate physical activity.
    • Manage bone pain: Discuss pain management options with your doctor.
  3. Prepare for potential dialysis: Understand the dialysis process and its implications.
  4. Seek emotional support: Share your concerns with family, friends, or a counselor.

I'm really concerned about my father. He's diabetic and took Glycomet GP 2 Forte for about 25 days. Then, out of nowhere, his sugar levels dropped drastically. We saw a doctor who told us to give him sweets, and that seemed to help, bringing his levels back to normal. The doctor checked his kidney, liver, heart, and blood pressure, and everything seemed fine. But then at night, he's been feeling strange. He gets this heat in his chest, pain, a metallic taste in his mouth, tension, and sometimes he wakes up suddenly. We've consulted both a general medicine doctor and a diabetes specialist, but we're not sure why he's experiencing these symptoms. Any idea what's going on?
