Need to know your BP: Need to know your blood pressure and the pills you are taking along with anti diabetic pills. Sometimes too low blood pressure can affect perfusion of the kidneys. Some pills controlling diabetes affect GFR

See a Nephrologist: Your serum creatinine is mildly elevated but your GFR is quite low. Since you don't have proteinuria, I can't attribute your abnormal kidney function to diabetic glomerulosclerosis, but I question whether it's due to antihypertensive medications like ACE inhibitor and a diuretic or from other bilateral kidney pathology like renal vascular disease or chronic renal inflammation. See a nephrologist.
