Kidney damage can be prevented by maintaining good blood sugar and BP control. Apart from medications for diabetes and bp you should follow strict Diabetic diet, avoid oily, fatty and fried items with regular physical activity. Monitor your blood sugar and BP and serum creatinine regularly accordingly medications will be recommended. All the best.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Usually when kidney function is reduced and eGFR is <45 ml/minute, metformin may be discontinued. However, discontinuation does lead to blood glucose levels going haywire and may need increased Insulin dosage.
So pleas let me know following: serum creatinine level, height, weight to calculate your eGFR. Or if already it is mentioned please do give that info. Because on discontinuing metformin glucose level tends go up. Thanks.

gliclazide can be taken twice but only after the advice of your doctor as per need.
choosing one drug over other depends on several factors like how well the kidney is working, cardiac status or compliance. please let the doctor decide between vilda and tenligliptin and you can also discuss the same. for details kindly take online consultation
