Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Acute Renal injury is very common in diabetic patients.
Dehydration is most common cause for this.
So he is mostly having acute renal shutdown which is causing decreased urine output, lethargic feeling, nausea, dizziness etc. So immediately take him to hospital and get done kidney function test. He will need Intravenous fluids.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing Himalaya good health. Thanks.
