Your diet is horrible. It’s bad for anyone, but especially as a diabetic, and you will never achieve truly good control (or health in general) no matter how many meds they put you on until you make a massive dietary change. I treat diabetes every day. I’m telling you, you have to see your doc, discuss your diabetes and diet, and have him refer you to a dietitian. If not that, you need to do a lot of reading on your own to become better informed. 23 is really young to become diabetic, so if you want to live a full life, you’re gonna need to get your diabetes under great control for now on. You need to commit to regular exercise as well. 

Right? like I think type 2 is what they call "old mans diabeties" because its usually something that happends when your like 60-70.

Type 2 was called "Adult Onset Diabetes", the name was changed because minors began to develop it recently.

I developed Type 1 Diabetes or "Childhood Diabetes" at age 9.

Your diet is very important and the consequences when you have health conditions is paramount. I'm not trying to shame anyone as felt the judgment of being a diabetic for decades now.  My standard meals are broccoli, sweet potatoes, grilled chicken or fish, a chopped salad.  On the nights I let my hair down and drink I have to be very careful as even with all my prep I can have issues.  I nearly died young of ketoacidosis when my body couldn't produce insulin because I was careless in my youth.
