Looking at the details I suggest you should shift to long acting basal analogue insulin like injection basalog, start with 6 units once a day and increase the dose based on daily blood sugar levels. You will have to do self monitoring of sugar levels. One of the oral medications namely metformin with glimepiride to be continued.

Dear sir, you diabetes is admirably under control. Do not reduve the medication you are already taking. Rather keep doing what you are doing already. Exercise daily, keep good dietary habits and monitor your sugar levels and hba1c regularly.
