Hi,
So sorry to hear about your kidney damage.
Metformin does not damage kidneys, that damage is done by high blood sugars.
The biggest concern is when metformin is used and it doesn't adequately control blood sugars. In such case other medications or insulin should be started to get good blood sugar control. The sooner blood sugars can be under tight control the better, as far as preventing / healing damage.
Diet is also critical in blood sugar control (low carb / carbohydrate controlled is often best).
Normal blood sugars should be in the range of 70 - 120, all the time. 70 - 95 fasting, and 120 or less after eating.
Hope this helps anyone who will read this message.
