Fear: Your fear is warranted. Seek immediate medical evaluation. I could give list of ifs but nothing beats professional exam evaluation and treatment.

Definitely: Diabetes is serious in and of itself without complications. You need to get to the closest er or urgent care center asap. The kidneys are one fo diabetes' "favorite organs" to bump off.
