Q. I have stopped diabetes medicines for six months but HbA1c is 7. 4 now. Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

How many years of diabetes? Any ongoing kidney issue?

With creatinine 1.88, you need to revise your diabetic medicines and make sure that it does not lead to an advanced level of kidney issues like diabetic nephrology.

If you are not on medicine than you need to restart as improving sugar and cholesterol will slow down the kidney damage process.
