under 140 is target if you don't want to go on dialysis nd wait for new kidneys, or lose your eye sight, have limbbs amputated, etc.

by the way your mood swings and depression? symptoms of your glucose levels being out of control. Very typical result.

i am doing somthing about it. If i die I die oh well. According to everyone ive talked to i dont need insulin, since its down to the lower 200s im not worried, whatever is ment to happen will happen and if its me dieing so be it, if im supposed to get better and not need anything so be it, if i just need to not eat sugar and carbs so be it.

Well I'd say its time to do something about it. The longer you wait, the worse off you'll be down the road.

welcome to being diabetic.
with a glucose that high, you'd be better off on insulin than pills. Talk to your doctor about the possibility of an insulin pump (example http://www.minimed.com )
I use one and it's great for control.
It's not as big of a deal as it seems, just keep the sugars under 140mg/dl and you'll avoid most of the complications. Control is the big key to avoiding problems. The longer you leave that glucose too high, the more damage you do to muscles, nervous system, capilaries and blood vessels, eyes, heart, kidneys, and so forth.
Just control it instead of letting it control you.
I've had diabetes since I was 3. It's manageable.

Yea dude, both my dad and bro have Diabetes. They both were scared and thought it blew at first, but now it's just a part of their daily life, I'm sure they won't be saying "i love diabetes!" but they don't complain either. My dad is one type my brother is the other. Dad just takes these pills, metphormin or something, and my brother has to take insulin needles 4 times a day, but he takes em in stomach cuz there's less nerves there, he says he can't feel em at all.

I'm diabetic, I'm 22 now and I've had it since I was 4. Definitely nothing to commit suicide over, and there's nothing I can't do because I'm diabetic (besides go into the military). The syringes are very small, and nowadays they have all kinds of cool technology to make it easier. A couple years ago I got an insulin pump, so I never have to take shots, I just punch some buttons every time I eat and it pumps insulin in through a catheter in my abdomen. Anyways, if it turns out you are diabetic, your life will be different, but it is easily overcome.

The tired, nauseated feeling, I get that when my blood sugar is high too. But I feel a lot better after I correct it with the insulin.

Sounds like your blood sugar is continually high...have you been going to the doctor regularly?
