| Hi Stonegirl, sorry that you aren't feeling very well. I was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago with Type 2. I had a lot of the same symptoms with lack of attention, feeling stressed, tired, felt like a zombie, etc.
I'm a little surprised your Dr. didn't want to diagnose you with diabetes yet with those numbers. Although not terrible, they fall into diabetic category.
As far as what to eat, I was told to follow a low carb diet. Eat chicken, shrimp, trimmed beef, fish stir fry with cauliflower, green beans, mushrooms, asparagus, brocolli. Mix and match these as you choose. A blood glucose meter really helps to see how food affects your BG levels. Check them 2 hours after you have a meal.
Avoid pizza, white bread, white rice, pasta, and potatoes for now.
Do a search for "low carb recipes" and you will find a ton of sites.
For breakfast eat eggs, turkey sausage, or that microwavable precooked bacon that doesn't have a lot of fat.
By eating low carb, this has helped me bring my blood sugar way down along with exercise. If I have a bowl of cereal which has a lot of carbs my blood glucose will go up to nearly 200 mg/dL two hours after testing.
Once you start getting control of your blood glucose levels, the energy will slowly start coming back and you will feel better hopefully.
Good luck to you.
