She has vomitting tendency and feeling weak. Nephrologist has advised to go for dialysis. But he also said that this is not process to cure. One of the Ayurvedic doctor claimed that his medicines can improve/restart kidney function . But at this point, it seems Dialysis is required. Can it be stopped once health condition improves?

Usually kidney failure due to diabetes is a progressive problem and kidney function usually doesn't improve once a stage of dialysis comes. Although if a reversible cause like infection etc can be found, renal function may recover to some extent.
