To check my thyroid level, my doctor ordered a blood screening.  When he recieved it back he announced that I was now diabetic, had high cholesteral and high triglicerides.  He handed me 3 prescriptions and told me to come back in 4 weeks.  No instructions were given other that take these pills once a day and then come back.  Everything I find on the internet seems to be written in a special code that only those versed in diabetes control truly understand.  Help please.  I do not even know were to start.  My blood work six months ago showed none of these problems.

I am depressed about the drastic health change and frustrated to tears that the only things I find are: insulin shots, follow your doctors eating plan, and exercise.
