Kidneys, eyes and other systems and organs of the body can be affected by diabetes as time goes on. The kidneys may not filter as well as they should. Acuteness of vision may become less sharp. By watching the diet, exercising and possibly taking prescribed medications, the physical manifestations can be controlled.

The inability to deal with diabetes and its effects is another aspect, which affects both body and mind, and its diagnosis and management is an uphill task.

It is possible that stress about the effects can be both the reason and the symptom. Resistance to defend infections like colds etc. is weakened by this stress. Those are only some of the things than can go wrong as a result of diabetes. As the ability to function is diminished, those complications may result in additional stress. This creates a vicious sequence of events.

A small adjustment to one's diet. Sticking to a simple exercise routine three days a week. Once a person does that, they can expand to broader actions such as increasing dietary change or greater amounts/types of exercise.

As you resolve these problems a bit at a time, you will develop confidence and be able to resolve even larger problems. With time, for most people, managing diabetes becomes a routine which is no more difficult than completing the typical school or work assignment.
