well on Monday i got the news that i have diabetes

they havent told me yet what type but im hoping it would be 2 because i hate needles. it was the worst news i have gotten in a while. so there goes chance of joining the military one day. then i started to think about about the cost of the medicine.
so the question is does anyone here have diabetes? and what do you do about the medicine? and what do you do to go on in life?
