Should Control Of Blood Sugar Level Be Given Priority?

I am a diabetic with irregular blood sugars. I am on oxygen 24/7. Last week I fell, hit my head and the next day I was out of sorts. I thought I got a concussion but doctors thought I had a heart attack which put my kidneys out of sort. Now I am to lose weight, get my blood sugars more controlled, take care of my kidneys (how?), and keep my cholesterol down. I am so confused which is the most important task to take care of first.

Dear sir

There are certain parameters that needed to be controlled in known type 2 diabetes.
Like
1. Blood sugars
2. Blood pressure
3. Lipids
You need to monitor parameters like hba1c and LDL cholesterol

So if you control only blood sugars it is of no use. But you still need to control two of the other parameters.

Thanks
