For a health report: What body system(s) has (have) been effected in diabetes (type 1)?

This is quick. I'm doing a health report on Type one: Diabetes Mellitus, and I have one section that has stumped me. I need to know what body systems have been effected in this. Please help, and don't answer if you don't know! Thanks, and if you could, put your source. That would be extremely helpful.

The main one is the endocrine system. Others are renal/urinary, cardiovascular and neuro.

Well, just about every system is affected by diabetes. But, a few things.

retinopathy(eye damage) diabetes is the number one cause of new blindness
neuropathy(nerve damage)
Of course, the pancreas is trashed in type 1
Cardiac damage(MI)
vascular damage(MI and strokes)
gastroparesis

To put it mildly, Diabetes sucks. The good news is that studies have shown that tight control of your blood glucose as close to normal can greatly decrease the onset of these secondary disease processes.

every system can be affected by type 1 if your blood sugars are bad
