Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but it usually starts in people younger than 30. Symptoms are usually severe and occur rapidly.The exact cause is unknown.
Symptoms
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Weight loss despite increased appetite
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Fatigue
Absence of menstruation
The early symptoms of untreated diabetes are related to elevated blood sugar levels, and loss of glucose in the urine. High amounts of glucose in the urine can cause increased urine output and lead to dehydration. Dehydration causes increased thirst and water consumption. The inability of insulin to perform normally has effects on protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin is an anabolic hormone, that is, one that encourages storage of fat and protein. A relative or absolute insulin deficiency eventually leads to weight loss despite an increase in appetite. Some untreated diabetes patients also complain of fatigue, nausea and vomiting. Patients with diabetes are prone to developing infections of the bladder, skin, and vaginal areas. Fluctuations in blood glucose levels can lead to blurred vision. Extremely elevated glucose levels can lead to lethargy and coma.

A person with liver failure usually has jaundice, a tendency to bruise or bleed, ascites, liver encephalopathy, and generally failing health. Other common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, nausea, and a loss of appetite. In acute liver failure, a person may go from being healthy to near death within a few days. In chronic liver failure, the deterioration in health may be very gradual until a dramatic event, such as bleeding varices (large, tortuous veins), occurs.
The clinical manifestations alone provide strong evidence of liver failure. Blood tests usually show severely deteriorated liver function.

Kidney disease often proceeds silently over many years, with no signs or symptoms the patient can recognize or with signs that are too general for the patient to suspect kidney trouble. For that reason, routine blood and urine tests are especially important; they detect blood or protein in the urine and abnormal chemical levels in the blood, such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), early signs of kidney disorder and failure. The following problems may, however, be warning signs of kidney disease and should not be ignored. Prompt medical attention is required when any of these conditions are present.

Swelling or puffiness, particularly around the eyes or in the face, wrists, abdomen, thighs or ankles
Urine that is foamy, bloody, or coffee-colored
A decrease in the amount of urine
Problems urinating, such as a burning feeling or abnormal discharge during urination, or a change in the frequency of urination, especially at night
Mid-back pain (flank), below the ribs, near where the kidneys are located
High blood pressure

My husband has stage 3 kidney failure, which at stage five mean complete renal failure. When he first found out he had a urine test at the doctor's office. His creations were very high. Had a lot of protein in his urine. His kidneys were not filtering well. Had problems passing urine. Burned.

He is type 2 diabetic now for 18 years. The doctor took him off salt, bananas, peanut butter, prunes, figs. His kidneys could not filter potassium or protein. He also was an anemic, because your kidneys when functioning normal produces red blood cells, but his was not; so he took procret shot for about 5 months, plus 4 bags of liquid iron.

His doctor sent him to a dietitian, which put him on a diet where he counts carbs. The damage to his kidneys can never be repaired, all he can do is try to keep them from getting worse.

If you think you are having renal failure, you need to go to you doctor and let him check your creation level and proteins.

I sure hope this helped you a little, I know this is a scary time for you, as it was for my husband and I.

Good luck!

A person who is already diabetic. esp type 1, is more prone to kidney disease and failure, this is true, but not necessarily to liver problems.
Kidney disease starts out with an excess of urine production. What is happening is that the kidneys, our filter system, reabsorb around 80 percent of the fluids that go through them. But at the first onset of problems, th kidneys can't absorb most of the water, so it goes on to the bladder, making you have a larger amount of urine output and the urine will be paler in color.
Then as the disease progresses, the filtering mechanism that pulls the water, salts and toxins out of the blood begins to break down. smaller and smaller amounts of urine are in each urination and the urine color gets darker and darker. At the same time, all that fluid and toxins remains in the skin, giving you swelling of the legs, feet, even hands, abdomen and arms. Swollen tissue is easily damaged and the toxins in the skin make it itch, so you often have itchy skin with sores on it as kidney disease progresses. Dehydration happens in the early form because you are loosing lots of fluids, So you may be constipated, thirsty, eyeballs may even be soft.

My Doctor Told Me the depressing news - "Your Kidneys Are FAILING!"

My worsening kidney disease symptoms included:
- Nausea and vomiting and constant stomach upset
- Passing only small amounts of urine and stopping and starting while urinating
- Swelling in my ankles and lower legs
- Puffiness around my eyes with brain fog and moodiness
- Chronic fatigue and shortness of breath when exerting myself
- Loss of appetite and not wanting to eat at all
- Increasingly higher blood pressure
- Bouts of anxiety and depression
- Muscle cramps which were worse in my legs

That a friend of mine sent me a link to a website (http://NatureHomeCure.com) that helped his Mother. She was just like me, and was suffering with failing kidneys and experienced the same worries and fears I was going through. All I could do was try it and see if it worked.

Here's where the story gets a little strange. Two months later, Instead of my kidneys sliding down the slippery slope of kidney failure and getting progressively worse, they started to get better.

My Doctor could not believe how much improved my kidney function output had increased and my GFR was UP and creatinine levels lower. My kidneys were starting to work again, and removing all the toxins in my body. I got my life back!

Now, I am using this 100% all natural protocol which restored my kidney function and did it naturally, without the use of unnatural man-made pharmaceutical drugs or dialysis. In less than two months my kidneys were on the mend. Now six months later, My kidney's are back to normal again.

I cured my sciatica with this natural treatment ( http://cure-sciatica.info )
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.
