What other problems can be associated with Diabetes?

My husband has had several health problems and the Dr.s can't figure out what it is. He recently found out that his blood sugar has been fluxuating. All of his lymph nodes are swollen, he feels like he has the flu all the time(body aches, chills, hot flashes). He has been depressed. He has no energy. He has mood swings. He has headaches alot. These things have lead him to Dr, to Dr. To Dr. They have done test after test, including surgery to biopsy a lymph node. No Cancer of any kind. They can't find anything. Can all of this be problems from the onset of diabetes and could it take YEARS before the diabetes actually show up? Is there something we should be looking for?
We have been told that his problem could be an auto immune disorder but they don't know which it is.
His kidneys were checked, I think. He had started having trouble because he was constantly going to the bathroom to pee and he was always thirsty.
He also had trouble with his fingers drawing up from time to time but that was years ago. It hasn't happened in years.
Just found out that his mother took some medicine for diabetes. She died at the age of 47 of a stroke or something along that line.
