if you have diabetes, what parts of your body could be effected eg eyesight, kidneys, etc

I am 21 years old, i have been diabetic for 19 years, I was in denial about i for most of my life, i stopped taking my injection properly from the age of 13 to about 19 with an average hba1c of 13-14,one day i realised how dangerous this was and decided it was time to look after myself. Since then i have been working really hard to get my blood sugars under control, the thing is in doing this i have put on 2 1/2 stone even thought i have been eating very well and exercising 5 days a week on average( dance classes, jujitsu, jogging, swimming), i i am also suffering bouts of extreme constipation, once ending up in ae with compacted bowel, I have talked to my doctors about this time and time again and they say the same thing, your boys just getting used to the changes you've made and the weight will work itself out, (once they even suggested that maybe i was at the weight i was meant to be, I am over a stone over the recommended healthy weight for my height with a bmi of 27, sound pretty ridiculous to me) well a year and a half later nothings changed, it feels like the more i do right the worse my body reacts, has any one else gone through this an can you please give me some tips? also, I am a non smoker, I dont drink very often, I never eat chocolate or sweets, I gave up all fizzy drinks over a yar ago, I also avoide all artifical sweeners and msg like the plague. I take nova rapid 3 time a day and lantus at night, I am amin to eat most protiens and veg, and (wolemeal carbs if i have to) I eat fruit once a day with a meal and I am checkin my blood sugars regularly

My husband has had several health problems and the Dr.s can't figure out what it is. He recently found out that his blood sugar has been fluxuating. All of his lymph nodes are swollen, he feels like he has the flu all the time(body aches, chills, hot flashes). He has been depressed. He has no energy. He has mood swings. He has headaches alot. These things have lead him to Dr, to Dr. To Dr. They have done test after test, including surgery to biopsy a lymph node. No Cancer of any kind. They can't find anything. Can all of this be problems from the onset of diabetes and could it take YEARS before the diabetes actually show up? Is there something we should be looking for? We have been told that his problem could be an auto immune disorder but they don't know which it is. His kidneys were checked, I think. He had started having trouble because he was constantly going to the bathroom to pee and he was always thirsty. He also had trouble with his fingers drawing up from time to time but that was years ago. It hasn't happened in years. Just found out that his mother took some medicine for diabetes. She died at the age of 47 of a stroke or something along that line.
