For my diabetes I am taking glimepiride 2 mg, metformin sr 850 and human mixtard 70/30: (60 units 30 morning 30 night) two times both morning and night but my diabetes is not under control. I think I have hormone imbalance and my body produce too much cortisol or I have been converting type 2 to type 1. So hereafter can I treat with insulin alone for type 1 without taking above medicines. I am aged 56. See my history. I am diagnosed by diabetes after marriage at the age of 36 but from my childhood I made bed wed several times for many years now I think it is due to diabetes and during that time no treatment was taken. When I was small boy I ate 15 idly for breakfast since I felt always hungry and at present I am eating 5 idly only. Not only diabetes I enjoy hyper tension for which I take telmisartan 50 mg, amlodipine 5 mg and metoprolol 100 mg. Apart from diabetes and hypertension I am suffering from gas trouble and constipation. I shall be very grateful if you kindly advice me a best treatment.
