Default Newly diagnosed Type 2 and put off work

So On December 9th I had my annual Firefighters physical exam. My Dr. noticed my urine sample was high and ordered more blood work. The next day as I am getting off duty the Dr. calls and informs me I am a type 2 diabetic. My A1C was 10.5. and because it was over 7.0 I was put on disability until I could get it under control. At diagnosis I weighed 235. My personal Dr put me on 1000MG Metformin twice daily and 10MG Jardiance. I have since lowered my A1C to 8.0 in a month and my bs has been averaging in the 80's. I am shooting to return to work by the first of March. I am down 26 pounds since but have no energy.
