What Is The Normal Blood Sugar Level When Diagnosed With Diabetes?

Hi, I was just diagnosed with Diabetes. I want off the drugs. Nobody seems to be able to tell me what normal blood sugar is suppose to be. On 9/1/15 I was at 427. started 50 mg twice daily but on the 13th my eyesite went bad over night and my blood sugar would not drop below 210. Doctor started me on insulin on the 16th. one shot after dinner of 15. Sugar is now down to 125 to 135 in the morning and 148 2 hours after dinner, before shot. Yes I am following diet without cheating. I have lost 10 pounds. My next doctor appointment is not until next week. I need some reassurance here. My eyesight still has not returned and the eye doctor says that it should return around 3 weeks after not sugar returns to normal levels. Very simple question....what is normal for first thing in the morning and what is normal2 hour after eating a meal? I am 57 female who now weights 226. Down from 260 in 3 months time.
