Usually insulin should be taken separately and oha should be taken separately. Thanks.

You can take the help of a dietician who can also help with a variety of diet chart (while taking care of calorie count also ). Please go for regular health check up and repeat the tests as advised. Focus on improving your health rather than worry about the problem. Include exercise and yoga which help in your diabetes management. Discuss about your exercise plan with the doctor so that sufficient precautions can be taken.
