Do people think there is a connection between stress and depression and diabetes? If so, to what extent do you feel the connections exist?

Is it up to my GP or a diabetic dietitian to to help me manage my diabetes?

I need advise and help. Was not given any indication by the doctor on how I should proceed and what I need to do now. Was told only to take meds twice a day. No eating plan, what I should avoid or any other information.
Totally stressed out. Have no idea where to now. My blood sugar level at the examination was 12.4 with traces of ketones and blood in urine test. Glucose was 3+ in the urine test
Please help!!
My blood pressure was 150/90
