Hi!!
welcome to HCM
His creatinine levels are fine but definately should not go up and for that his sugars have to be well controlled.
Regarding fruits he can have apple, papaya, watermelon,pear,pomergranate, but only between his meals.
Also he should eat at the same time daily and not skip his meals.
For a complete diet plan I would need his weight,blood sugar levels and eating habits.
Hope I have answered your query.For further clarifications feel free to contact me.
