New diabetic

This week I have been told I am a new diabetic. My A1C was 8.3, and when I asked if this was reversible, I was told probably not. I'm looking for information on how to tackle this roadblock. If it's not reversible, then I can deal, but I know there has to be some ways to get it under control and make it better. I really didn't receive any advice from my doctor, just take this pill twice a day and test your blood sugar twice a day, write it down & come see me in two weeks. Advice on diet, proper foods, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
