Hi Noice, glad to meet you. First of all, you need to feel good about yourself. Have a positive attitude about your diabetes, learn to live with it and not give up. You can do it!!
For quite a while my numbers went up to 400-500 BG. My A1c was out of the roof, too.
I went on a lifetime eating plan. I am on 150 carbs a day, 3 oz of meat and one fruit a day. You can eat all of the veggies you want. Meat is where the trycliderides and cholesterol are at. Cut the skin off of your chicken. That is where the fat is. Eat only lean meat, the marble in meat is pure fat. Salmon is good for you. Read the labels and take only the serving size it is. Old Fashioned Quaker Oatmeal and All-Bran are great for you. My numbers are now down to 90-140 BG.
Watch what you eat for dessert, that can be a real killer. I eat yogurt with a tablespoon of preserves. You can eat nuts if you feel hungry. You will have to cut out the cakes and junk food. I know that is hard to do. If you go to a fast food restarunt, I eat only a salad. I prefer going to a buffett place where I can choose a healthy dinner.
You need to have a well planned exercise program, too. Do what you enjoy. For my pain, my doctor has put me on Tylenol w Codeine #3. That works and I can keep busy. Do not sit at the computer or TV all day, that will not work off your numbers.
Keeping busy is hard when you have depression. I know because I have depression, as well. Doing things helps me forget about my depression. Do not dwell on it. Dwelling on the fact that you have diabetes can make you depressed, too. I hope I have helped you.
Ruth
