Diabetes and creatin: Normal level of creatinine in blood is 0.6 to 1.2mgmdiabetes effects kidneys if the diabetes is not well controlled, and causes elevation of creatonine level.It is very difficult to reduce the level, but if you control biabetes and keep BP normal you can prevent it from getting worse, if it is too high over six then dialysis may be indicated and will bring the level down.

0.6-1.2 mg/dL: Normal level of creatinine is about 1mg per 100 ml of serum. There is no easy way to reduce increased levels of creatinine, expect if the patient is dehydrated giving fluids helps. There are medications that protect the kidney in diabetics and you should consult your doctor for continued care and managing blood glucose levels to prevent further damage.
