As many have said, adult onset diabetes is very treatable with exercise and diet. Here is hoping that she is able to take this opportunity to improve her overall health. Prayers sent.

Sorry to hear about the riding accident! 
I've gotten a concussion once from getting thrown from a horse, and plenty of bruises. I used to train. I hope she got the hell back on even though she was aching... or that you did, at least.
I'll do my best to send out good vibes to your wife! (Get her that get-well-soon-because-I-love-you-so-much gift yet?

I have type II and was damn close to getting type 1! I'll be praying for the both of you, but realize this. Type II is curable. Even Type 1! My fathers parents have it, I think my uncle has it, and I have type ii. My grandmother was able to beat type 1, at 85 years old, she was told she doesn't have it anymore, not even type ii. There is a type called Type III, the patient has all of the symptoms of Type II, but their blood sugar does not test high for type ii. After I was diagnosed, I started excercising like a mad man, and eventually did not have to worry as much about it. I made several big mistakes. I did not go to a diabetic nutritionist. I did not test my blood sugar daily, and I still don't, when my grandmother asks how my sugar is, I always tell her shes doing fine 
. I screwed up big time. I thought that my diabetes medicine, Avandia, gave me free reign to eat any sugars I want.
Do everything the doctors tell her. If she is type i, she can kiss ice cream and cakes and even fruit in some cases goodbye. If it is type ii, not so much. It's a real pain, and it can be scary at first, I went into a mild coma on my first blood sugar medicine, Glyburide, the first day I was diagnosed with diabetes. Like I said, it can be scary, but as long as she sticks to a healthy diet, and excercises, she'll be okay.
Realize this too. Gaj, you are a smart man, or so I have surmised from your posts. Make sure she sticks to a plan, because I know lots of people who have lost limbs and have bad heart problems because of diabetes. You can lose a lot before you lose your kidneys!
So, don't get frightenened, don't get discouraged, but don't treat it like a small ailment.

Thanks for the advice SHS. Sticking to diets is not one of her strong points, (she's a chocolate addict!), so I guess I've got some work in front of me. she visits the doctor again on Friday to get the real story so we'll see. She's been doing a bit of research on the web and reading a lot of stuff from the American diabetes web pages. Looks like good info.silenthunterstudios said:
