Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It is very natural to have reactive depression and anxiety with such event,but you have to take care of yourself and must not ignore your health, please think positively and take care.
You have uncontrolled Diabetes and Dyslipidemia.
Your blood sugar and other investigation grossly deranged and your doctor has advised good treatment please take it regularly and take care of your diet,diabetic and low fat and low in calories may be 25 K cal/kg/day.
If you have uncontrolled diabetes you lose weight due to fluid loss and catabolism.
If you take care of your diet and treatment you will improve in few weeks.
Please do not worry Diabetes can occur without family history of diabetes it not abnormal.
Take care
Good Luck.

Hello,
Your sugar levels are tremendously high and is playing havoc with your life.
I understand your grief regarding your mother's death but this is how life goes.
You should not neglect yourself as high sugar and dyslipidemia can cause emergency to you.
You must abide by the instruction of your doctor,take regular treatment and make sure that your sugar levels and high lipid levels are controlled as early as possible to avoid future micro as well as macro vascular complications.
Reduce your calorie intake.
Do regular exercises for 40 minutes a day.
Avoid sweets ,junk foods,deep fried foods and colas.
Keep visiting your doctor regularly and keep getting yourself tested regularly.
Loss of weight is caused by uncontrolled diabetes and once sugar levels are brought to normal ,your weight shall stabilise and get better.
Remember apart from taking regular medicines,regular aerobic exercises are must for you.
Thanks
