I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and diabetes for over four years, and now his latest checkup showed his creatinine levels are up. I'm curious if there are specific foods, maybe certain types of millet or anything else, that might help lower his creatinine. Also, I'm a bit confused about how much fluid he should actually be drinking.
