Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that due to the combined effect of nerve damage and diabetes, the urinary bladder function is compromised and he had got an autonomic bladder. In this condition the bladder muscles malfunction and do not contract when required. Having 8 liters of urine drained using a catheter is a large amount and having that kind or urinary retention is a serious concern.

The bleeding through penis can be due to injury as a result or urinary retention of during drainage. He should be taking a short course of antibiotics and the bleeding is also to be controlled at the earliest. He will improve over next few days. Please do not worry.
