HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Uncontrolled diabetes can be associated with changes occurring in the eyes. If she now able to control her blood sugars, however, it would prevent any further damage to her eyes or any other areas.
Tight control would be the key.
It is possible, if she is able to do this, there would no further issues.
I hope this helps
