yes.... anemia because there isnt enough oxygen gettin to your blood and organs due to poor circulation and not enough vitamin B or iron from eating foods you may not be able to eat uremia because diabetes can cause kidney failure .. causing an accumulation of urea in the blood...also .a sign of uremia is anorexia which also causes anemia.

Anemia-induced fatigue is thought to be one of the major contributors to the uremic syndrome. Erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone necessary for red blood cell production in bone marrow, is produced by peritubular cells in the kidney in response to hypoxia (oxygen vital to tissue). Anemia associated with renal failure can be observed when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (a test to see how much fluid is filtered by the kidney) is less than 50 mL/min or when the serum creatinine is greater than 2 mg/dL. Diabetic patients may experience anemia with a GFR of less than 60 mL/min. So is it possible yes and it is a major contributor to kidney failure.
