Who else felt like there life was over when they where newly told they were diabetic pls hlp depressed?

I know I cried for two days straight i looked it up on line and only looked at the horror stories. then i talked to a family member who was a doctor and he explained type 2 he gave me this huge book guide to nutritional living that can be purchased at the vitamin shop I began a strict regimen because i was afraid however my blood sugar has decreased dramatically in one year due to diet and exercise. i also began taking fish oil because i found out that unstable levels of blood sugar can affect your moods( can depress you) and fish oils are a known mood elevator. any other questions or if you need to talk I will accept your email because i remember how devastated i was. and now im fine( not cured ) but my levels are normal as for most people even though I havent been able to follow the regime as strictly as i once did and water please drink at least 8 gles of water daily. good luck people do live full lives with this illness
