This is a link to the NHS direct website page and has information on the causes/treatment etc for diabetes.
It's important if you are doing your own research to stick to trusted websites as there are a lot of scare stories out there.
Providing your wife follows the advice of her GP/Practice nurse etc she will be less likely to experience the severe side effects of this illness.

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.

My wife also had type 2 .Unfortunately she has passed away but not from the diabetes. She was diagnosed as having it after our third child was born and she lived with it for over 36 years.It cannot be cured but it can be controlled.Your wife will have to monitor her blood sugar level regularly and stick to certain dietary constraints and to take regular medication.She should attend a clinic at her doctors on a regular basis,my wife used to go every 2 months,with an annual blood test at the local hospital.Regular treatment from a qualified chiropodist is needed as the feet are one of the most important things to watch and treat in diabetes.She should attend at least once every 2 months. for the feet . They are completely free and they will maintain a regular appointment system.The local health authority operate these foot clinics .The eyes are another area that should be regularly checked as blindness was a common result of diabetes, but ewith regular retinal screening,once a year,this problem can be avoided if any small problems that arise are treated promptly.The medication that your wife will be given will depend on the severity of her condition. Insulin is only used in the most serious cases where the body does not produce any.If the body produces some insulin in the liver but not enough to deal with the glucose in the blood the tablets that assist in the breakdown and digestion of glucose will be given. There are several different ones available and in various strengths. Your doctor will prescribe the type and dose most suitable for your wife.s condition and will monitor and adjust medication as necessary.The stories that you read about the dire effects of diabetes are not untrue but they are what used to happen many years ago before regular monitoring and checking took place These days if your wife does the necessary daily checks,watches her diet,takes her tablets,regularly attends her clinics,has a hospital check up once a year,sees the chiropodist every 2 months or soand atteds an eye clinic at the hospital once a year,none of the really bad things should happen as they will be dealt with in the early stages, and there is no reason why your wife should not go on to have a long and happy life.Best Wishes.All that I have said applies to England. I don't know about other countries.

type 2 diabetes tends to be that the insulin that you produce isnt as effective as it should be, the medication should help this. As long as your wife is sensible with her diet and takes her meds and moniters her BM (blood sugar) it can be controlled well. She should really be refered to see a diabetic specialist nurse, who will help her to learn what she needs to change in her diet, ask your GP to refer her.
Diabetes effects circulation, particulary to the periferies (ie feet and hands) if not controlled well, so she should check her feet daily for any blemishes and see a chiropodist regularly.
Use some of the sites other people have suggested and get her GP to refer her to a specialist and she should be fine.
Good luck

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/VSmAq
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

I have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and we have a very good nurse at the surgery who explained every thing.
As other people have already said losing legs etc is now not common due to advances in early detection and modern medicines. But the best advice I can give you is to go with your wife to see the practice nurse and get her to explain changes in diet, exercise, medication and reassure you of your worries.

The others has told you info on diabetes. Read the book "pH miracle for diabetes". It talks about using alkaline diet to prevent the condition from getting worse. My friend tried it and he is able to control his sugar level in blood although he cannot control his food intake.
One truth about diabetes is you can only maintain the condition and never improve the condition. Once it got worse, there is no such thing as improve to previous state.

I can understand your concerns. 40 years ago when diabetic management was poor this did occasionally happen. We have thankfully moved on and in the last 15 years I have never seen a patient who attends GP/Hospital regularly and looks after their disease get in to this level of trouble.
It will be important for your wife to have her sugars,cholesterol and BP well controlled and many doctors put all their diabetics on aspirin as well to reduce vascular risks. She will also need regular eye, feet and kidney checks. If she looks after herself, with your help there should be little or no chance of these sorts of things happening.
