It would be easier to list what it does not effect. Zero.
Your blood sugar is the fuel for your body. Everthing in your body needs fuel to replace and repair. From bones to skin.
The systems that most often break down first are eyes; high blood sugar causes macualr degeneration, lets just go with blindness instead of heavy details nerves; your nerve endings eventually deteriate and you will no longer feel your toes or the tips of your fingers circulation system; from your heart to arteries to veins get clogged and shut down.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

The pancreas, kidneys, liver, eyes, and feet usually get mentioned by an internalist. The risk of heart attack for a diabetic is the same as that for someone who has previously had a heart attack.
Diabetes can be controlled with a doctor's assistance, proper diet, and regular exercise to complement any prescribed medications taken as directed.

If you keep you blood glucose levels down then hopefully you can prevent any part of your body by being affected. But if you have poor blood glucose control then most of the body can be affected by diabetes. Eyes, kidneys,heart, nerves and blood circulation are amongst the most common affected. Diabetes can also slow down the healing of wounds and cause infections and in some cases gangrene to set in, so it is important to keep you blood glucose level under control

Virtually all of them. Predominately, the eyes and feet. The controlling medications can have adverse affects on the heart, liver, and pancreas, among others.
