My father age 70, diabetic patient, takes daily 30 unit insulin. His blood creatinine report was 1.02 before 6 months. Every time his creatinine stays close to 1. Recently he has done HBA1C test. It was 7. His lipid profile is normal. Last few days we can see swelling at his feet and fingers. I need your suggestion. Thank you.

Hi
All the blood tests you mentioned are normal for your father's age.
Next Steps
swelling may be due to raised blood pressure levels or mild pumping issues with the heart.
Better consult a cardiologist to rule of these conditions.
Health Tips
Thyroid profile can be tested to rule out all other possible causes.
Talk to your doctor about these tests .
