As you know, your diabetes is not under control and its not good for your health. Yes, its better to take insulin to control diabetes when your sugar levels are high with 2 or more oral medicines. And yes, insulin can be discontinued after diabetes is under control, but that should be supervised and decision taken by your treating doctor.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The glucose levels mentioned are definitely high. It appears that present (new) treatment is not suiting you. Since no details are mentioned in terms of drugs and dosage, it is difficult to comment. If the previous treatment was giving good results with better glucose control, what was the reason for changing? You should tell the doctor that you were better of with earlier treatment and hence, he should revert you to that. Find out what he says. Or els...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. From the information given it appears that oral drugs are unable to control the glucose levels as required. Another aspect there is no mention of patient's weight, height, dietary pattern, extent of physical activity, bp readings and lipid profile. As all these matter in proper control of the glucose levels. Further with a hba1c% of 12%, it is essential to add insulin to the therapy. It is better to start with a basal insulin along ...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
As I see you are on multiple drugs to control blood glucose, still the control is not good, means either the dosage is inadequate or food itake is not properly adjusted.
Victosa (liraglutide) is a good option as it will also help in reducing weight.
You may also look at taking SGLT -2 Inhibitors as the option as these compounds reduce blood glucose and also help in weight reduction. Plus are oral compounds. Thanks.
