Hi,
800mg of Ibuprufen 3 times a day is a dose that is somewhere in the upper limit of normal. However, In diabetic patients, I would consider it still high dose for a diabetic kidney to handle. Ibuprufen is notorious to cause acute kidney damage and his symptoms are also suggestive of that. I wold suggest to take him to the ER at the earliest.
