Bidirectional correlation with diabetes

A bit of a strange title, but I couldn’t come up with something more summarising. A few weeks ago I’ve ended up getting to the hospital. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Since then by reading leaflets, browsing the web and consulting specialists, I’ve learned that the disorder and diabetes can influence both positive and negative on each other. While I believe that’s true in a heartbeat, it’s hard to find good research on it in a normal readable way (not too medical).

Anyone in a similar situation or just interested with some good material to read?
