Anybody who is a diabetic can be started on insulin at any stage of the disease. Insulin is always given to a patient in a customised manner and there is no set dose for starting or continuing insulin. So you need to follow up with the doctor in person for setting your insulin dose.

1 Holy Basil (tulsi) leaves
The leaves of holy basil are packed with antioxidants and essential oils that produce eugenol, methyl eugenol and caryophyllene. Collectively these compounds help the pancreatic beta cells (cells that store and release insulin) to function properly and increase sensitivity to insulin. An added advantage is that the antioxidants present in the leaves help beat the ill effects of oxidative stress.
Tip: Consume two to three tulsi leaves whole or about one tablesp...more

Mr Lybrate-User, thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels mentioned (fasting & pp) both confirm that you have diabetes. Please check hba1c%, that will help in knowing how well is the control after starting treatment.

Your fasting is well controlled but pp is slightly higher advice you to switch medicines that's take diamicron in the morning before breakfast and vildapride 50/1000 after dinner as metformin (1000) if taken once a day it is better take either with or just after meals
continue brisk walking (.about 120 steps per minute) for 45 minutes a day for atlest 5 days a week and there should not be a gap of more than 48 hours in between exercise days.
