Sounds more like a bladder infection to me but I'm not a doctor.
The Diabetes & HBP both or by themselfs, will make you feel rotten, until you get the blood pressure down or BS down. Call your doctor it may be as simple as taking an extra pill BUT what one, is for the doctor to decide not you.
I went thru this a few weeks ago with the heat wave thru California.
The dark urine tells you, you are not drink enough clear liquids, as a diabetic you need to stay away from the black sodas anyway. Yellowing of the eyes is mostly from the liver, it is having to work over time from something you are eating or not getting in your diet.
See your doctor when all these syptomes are present so they can make a correct Dx.

go to ER like right now.
Jaundice can turn the skin and sclerae yellow. In addition, stool can become light in color, even clay-colored because of the absence of bilirubin that normally gives stool its brown color. The urine may turn dark or brownish in color. This occurs when the bilirubin that is building up in the blood begins to be excreted from the body in the urine. Just as in feces, the bilirubin turns the urine brown

I advise you to go to the ER ASAP. the yellowing of the eyes is due to poor kidney function. This is an urgent matter that needs to be looked after immediately.

Yes, and have yourself checked for gallstones, and vitamine B shortage.
