He needs comprehensive care. Patients with diabetes and nephropathy are very high risk for cardiovascular disease. He needs retinopathy screening. It tells from history, he did not have good diabetes control over the years, now suffering from nephropathy. The best way to prevent further worsening is to control Diabetes, BP, LDL cholesterol and weight management. Also based on creatinine, his medication should be carefully chosen.
