    Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to kidney damage (in many patients, it may be severe enough to warrant kidney transplant), eye problems (diabetic retinopathy), nerve pain (diabetic neuropathy), and heart disease. Managing your diabetes well with your physician's and pharmacist's help (especially with insulin pumps) greatly reduces the risk of these complications, though, and many diabetic patients can lead long, normal lives. Just follow your medical team's advice and hopefully you'll prevent further decline. I've added a link to the Mayo Clinic's patient tips on managing diabetes; it will give some additional detail.
