the direct answer to your question is a resounding yes.
Diabetes is a lifelong ( once diagnosed) chronic illness and as such many people either at the start or a few years in or 20 years in or 40 years in may feel as though they need some support on a psychological front.
that support structure does not appear to be a separate department that is connected to Diabetes , but the general psychiatric service and as a few have already commented a lot of the issues are related to being fed up , burnt out , unable to cope, food related and so on but all with the common thread of Diabetes running through them..
