    Robin,

    First of all, don't panic.. consider it a wakeup call. Do an introspection of your life style and see where you can make a change.

    The following list has helped me...
    1. Calorie intake based on weight (10% lower than required to lose weight)
    2. balancing protein and fiber (just carb control is not enough)
    3. eating before sunset
    4. having a good 7-8 hour sleep
    .

    Just this list has made a good difference and I am feeling better (my goal is to improve health along with losing weight). I am not sure if you are over weight, but the above control will improve the health.

    I follow this doctor's channel... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_1yhDaDZfA. This doctor has a good systematic approach to lose weight (and improving health).

    Hope this helps. And if needed, consult a dietician.
