hi baby girl and a very royal unwelcome to our club!! So sorry you had to join it!.
Things are not all that bad!. And they will get better and easier!.
I cannot take any of the antidepressant meds they have!. Have tried several and they make me meaner than a Mojave Rattler in summer! Good luck with those things!.
Now for food plannin! I do not believe any weight loss pills work at all!. It is a matter of not eating as big a servings as we would like!. All small servings and more exercise is all that is needed!.
Read some good websites and learn to deal with the diabetes and you will be just fine!. Depression goes with it!

First take antidepressants!. Then try and make an appointment with a diabetes educator!. They will show you how to use your meter, what to eat, etc!. Take your parents with you when you go as they need to be able to help you as well!.
Try and eat a low carbohydrate diet!.
Also do a search for freestyle lite!. They have a program where you can get a free meter, starter test strips and a program where you pay $15 for your test strips!.
