You need to consult a medical pro about that.
According to http://www.faqs.org/health/Body-by-Design-V2/The-Urinary-System
TAKING CARE: KEEPING THE URINARY SYSTEM HEALTHY
It is well known that aging taxes the urinary system. However, the many problems than can arise are not the inevitable consequence of aging and can be prevented or at least minimized. A person can lessen the effects of aging on the urinary system (like every other system in the body) by following a healthy lifestyle. This includes getting adequate rest, reducing stress, drinking healthy amounts of good-quality drinking water, not smoking, drinking moderate amounts of alcohol (or not drinking at all), following a proper diet, and exercising regularly.
A healthy diet is important in maintaining the health of the urinary system. A poor diet—one high in fats and meats—can cause kidney stones to develop. People who are obese or overweight place undue pressure on the organs of the urinary system, which can lead to further medical problems.
Drinking plenty of water is a necessity in keeping the urinary system healthy. The amount of water in the body helps the urinary system determine how many mineral ions, such as sodium, should be eliminated. The urinary bladder should be emptied every few hours during the day, and drinking enough water should allow an individual to produce a large enough amount of urine to accomplish this. Producing large amounts of urine also helps to flush the urinary system, washing bacteria out of the normally sterile urinary tract.
To further prevent infection of the urinary system by bacteria, it is important to practice good hygiene by keeping the genital area clean. This is vital in both sexes, but is of special concern to women because of the structure of their anatomy. In women, the urethral opening is very close to the vaginal opening and the anus. After urinating or defecating, women should wipe their genital area from the front to the back to avoid introducing fecal matter into the urethral opening.

Diabetics kidneys are damaged by the protein released when in diabetic acidosis(DKA). To prevent this one must have tight blood sugar control, follow diet, exercise, get flu shot every year and wash hands a lot. A stomach virus will throw a diabetic into DKA quick. You must avoid too much protein in your diet and drink water a lot. If you see a diabetes educator and a dietitian you are on the right road follow their advice 100%. Oh yeah our favorite rule when sick vomit 3 times in a hour or two ER asap. Test urine or now blood for keystones and test bs every hour during illness.

Control your diabetes first with food, exercise & medicine and normalise your blood sugar. Take test for microalbunuria (kidney function test) periodically to ascertain the functioning of the kidney. Please consult a nephrologist if the test results are abnormal.
Please see the webpages for more details on Microalbunuria test and Diabetic nephropathy.

I think eating well, lots of fruits and veggies, very little meat might help.
