How To Deal With Anxiety In Diabetic Patient?

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes several months ago. The doctor put me on several medicines for that along with medicines for high blood pressure, bipolar, stress and a decrease in my vitamin D levels. My problem is I cant get control of my sugar although we have increased my sugar medicines and Im worried that another medicine Im taking may be causing my sugar to stay elevated. I am currently on 850Mg of Metformin twice a day and 30Mg of actos once a day for my sugar. I am also on 10Mg of Buspar twice a day for anxiety, 20-25Mg Lotensin HCT for blood pressure once a day, 2,000MG of Vitamin D once a day, 200Mg of Lamictal once a day for my bipolar and 10Mg of ambien at night to help me sleep. The problem is I am only 29 and am a single mother. I lost my mom 3 years ago to a diabetic coma which was later determined to be caused by the combination of her medications. I'm scared. Please help!!

Keeping all these in view, the best action would be to trust your doctor. They know you and your condition and they are doing everything they can. Trust them, trust you and believe in god.
