Welcome to e health forum.

Yellowish discoloration of the eyes, abdominal discomfort , generalized weakness can be signs of liver disease, electrolyte imbalances (diabetic ketoacidosis) or urinary infections.

You should consult with your doctor for a examination and a few blood tests at the earliest.

Proper treatment will include adjustment of your insulin regimen and if needed antibiotics for any underlying infection.
