Many: They most likely will order more labs to make sure your kidneys/liver/electrolytes are still ok. They will also check your hemoglobin A1c (average bs the last 2-3 months) to see the severity of your diabetes. They will ask you to sign up for diabetes classes/talk to dm educator and start you on an anti-diabetic regimen (oral or Insulin or both depending on your level of comfort and committment)...

Need medication: You will likely be advised to change your lifestyle and lower carb intake in addition to being placed on a glucose lowering agent. Depending on your symptoms and lab work, you made need Insulin therapy (at least in the initial phase of treatment). Good luck.

Comprehensive eval: You will start treatment, have urine checked for diabetic kidney disease, get eye exam for retinal disease, & treatment for cholesterol and blood pressure as well as more blood tests. Take this diagnosis very seriously but stay optimistic: with good control over diabetes and close follow-up, most complications can be significantly delayed or prevented, & if present, progression halted/slowed.
