In brief:
Kidney vs nerves
In addition to kidneys and sensory nerves, uncontrolled diabetes can also damage blood vessels & circulation, heart, brain, eye, stomach emptying, skin, immune system and just about any organ in the body. Best way to prevent is to control blood sugar. Once there is damage, may need specialist or more advanced care.
