Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can understand your concern.  At your mothers age and with her CKD(chronic kidney disease), D.M., and thrice weekly maintained dialysis, it's difficult for both, patient and family, to go through the treatment. Irritability sets in along with feelings of depression easily.  It's very difficult for you to control her diabetic diet, advised by the nephrologist. Weakness is usually due to anemia(low He), in CKD. Just try your best and give her moral support, through this difficult phase, is all one can suggest. Potassium rich foods must also be avoided, like fresh fruits, ripe bananas, and coconut water.  If you want to clear any other doubt, you may send it to me, as a direct question. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
