[QUOTE="Paxydolphin, post: 2075616, member: 508843"] Hi My dad has type 2 diabetes for about 20 years. Just went with him for his followup. The doctor told us that his kidney function has worsen. I do not know the reading but I think he is a stage 4. The doctor said because of this he has to stop metformin and up his glyclazide dosage to 2 tablets a day. He was asked to start insulin but my dad refused. He has bleeding in his eyes as well. Just had a 6 vessel heart bypass in Jan and a colon cancer surgery in Feb. His before breakfast reading is 8.4 today. Can I know how long does it take for a stage 4 to deteriorate to end stage kidney disease? What can we do? Can a change in diet help at this point? I have not much understanding of the disease. I know of someone who had amputations because of diabetes but yet he does not need to go on insulin. My dads feet is okay. Can someone explain how diabetes work? Thanks [/QUOTE]
