To answer your question, YES they can all be interrelated. Diabetes causes an increased level of blood sugar. The blood sugar causes changes in the blood vessels everywhere in the body. Changes include hardening of the arteries, which may lead to hypertension (high blood pressure). High blood pressure may cause a strain in your heart which can lead to CHF or Congestive Heart Failure. Poor blood supply to the heart can also lead to CHF.
Chronic Kidney Disease can be a complication of diabetes. Not only the sugar attacks the vessels, but underlying hypertension can cause further damage in the blood supply, decreasing kidney blood flow and function.
Creatinine is a test of renal(kidney) function. Depends on the age/sex/laboratory reference values its usually up to 0-5- 1.4. Higher values mean a more decreased kidney function.
Diabetes may be the main factor for your husbands' problems.
He may also have some underlying disease that you havent mentioned, but more or less diabetes can cause heart failure and kidney failure.
Hope this helps. Hope your husband gets well. Im sure the doctors are doing the best that they can.

There are many things that can be done to overcome type II diabetes, and improve the life of a Type I diabetic.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
If you are serious about not being falling victim to diabetes needlessly, get a copy of "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
It helped me, and my brother, who was dying. We lead mostly normal lives now. Best of luck.
