Trying to post what doc said. Keep in mind everything in my world relates to blood sugar and effects it has on ME.
He said the latest news out of the renal world is… telmisartan may elevate my creatinine levels slightly and in the past that it would be an automatic cease and desist the med. Now the nephrology folks have found the long term benefits of telmistran on renal health outweigh the slight elevation of creatinine levels.
Also telemistran pairs well with diabetes meds. In our lengthy discussion on my a1c he said that a slight elevation in that is not the end of the world so long as I make my appointments and everything else checks good. Looking into the tiny blood vessels in a person’s eye can be a very good indicator of health as it relates to diabetes…of course… along with cardiac, renal, hepa etc function. I’ve achieved my stable lower a1c on the lowest doses possible of my meds so upping the jardience is an option that is still open.
