Newly diagnosed. Type 1.5. Insanely scared.

I feel so lost. I went in because I was having sudden reoccurring yeast infections after never having them before. After the seventh one this year I got called in for a blood test and it came back that I was diabetic. The doctor said I’m type 1.5. It’s all very confusing to me. The first day of testing my blood was an absolute mess. I’m so tired, I’m so scared. I feel so blindsided and I’m not sure what to do or where to start. I’m on Metformin and it makes me feel terrible. I don’t even know what I need. I guess just tips and support. I feel so sad.

Edit: I’m a couple months shy of being 25.
