You will receive a lot of replies to this, hang in there. I know that there are people here with diabetes. I am not one, so I will not even try to give advice.

Deb should chime in soon, hang in there help will be here soon.

Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.

What kind of treatment? I spent years on meds, Glipizide and Metformin, before insulin was added. With my improved diet I am slowly reducing the amount of insulin, but will not adjust the pills before consulting the doc.
Food-wise, the best control comes from low GI foods. Read up on them if you can. If you are running in the 300s you need your doctor's advice to have your medications adjusted asap.
Good luck,
Jan
