End stage renal failure, or kidney failure, occurs when your kidneys are no longer able to support you in a reasonably healthy state, and dialysis or transplantation is needed. This happens when your kidneys function at only 10 to 15 percent. The usual span of time between the onset of diabetic kidney injury and kidney failure is about five to seven years.

Dialysis can work forever. I use to work across the hall from a dialysis center (in a regular office building). But advances in treating diabetes are moving so fast, I doubt you'll even get to that point!
