His symptoms are due to ineffective renal function resulting in electrolyte imbalance, acid base imbalance in body. Get him examined by your doctor and few tests done like serum electrolyte levels, Renal GFR.  GFR of less than 10-15 MLS/min/1.73m2.or symptomatic renal failure are indication for start of dialysis, In diabetics, dialysis is started earlier. Hope this helps you. Regards </s>
