have you tried exubera, it is an inhaleable form of insulin for type 2 diabetics.
stay away from advantia, causes heart problems in some diabetics, it has been on the news.
by the way, I am type 1 diabetic....my sugars were running average 300 to 400 for over a year, I have been in DKA coma already. I was taking insulin 3 to 4 times a day....I got a book from my uncle in Canada, it is the program Canadian Dr's prescribe to patients. I have been on the diet for 3 months, I have had to take my insulin literally maybe 10 times in the last 3 months. I have also lost 10 lbs and have kept it off, you have to try this program ....
"The G.I Diet" by Rick Gallop
it has literally saved my life...
sorry sassy cat, i dont think it is smart to take insulin when my blood sugar is 90 to 100. i dont know if you know what happens when your blood sugar get to low or not, but I dont like being unconscious. I have completely controlled my diabetes with this diet, my Dr is more than happy with the results....i will take his advice over yours any day, he has the medical degree.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Healthy lifestyle choices — including diet, exercise and weight control — provide the foundation for managing type 2 diabetes. However, you may need medications to achieve target blood sugar (glucose) levels. Sometimes a single medication is effective. In other cases, a combination of medications works better. The list of medications for type 2 diabetes is long and potentially confusing. Learning about these drugs — how they're taken, what they do and what side effects they may cause — will help you discuss treatment options with your doctor.

the_only_solorose gave you excellent advice. Do what your doctors say. Use an endocrinologist, that's the appropriate medical specialty.
Have a number of different types of specialists since the major problem of diabetes is that it causes other medical problems. You should consult with a cardiologist, podiatrist, dentist and other specialists as necessary. Please also take a diabetes education class. You will lean much. I did.
While every method should be used to control your diabetes including diet, exercise, weight loss, healthy eating and taking medications regularly you should be aware that you may be in for medication changes from increasing the dosage of your current medication to changing medications to combining medications, to insulin injections
Unfortunately, diabetes is a progressive disease. You need very tight control. I have been a diabetic for over 10 years and my diabetes is under very good control. That does not mean that I have not had medication changes.
There are also new medication being adopted frequently. Do not worry about what medications you will be taking in the future. Do be concerned with managing your blood sugars as best you can.
Good luck to both of us.

some of the companies that make the metformin use different filler ingredients. I could not tolerate the TEVA company's product. I had taken metformin for several years with no problems. The insurance company decided that TEVA products were what we should have.
Try to get metformin made by a different company or get the metformin XR. The XR formula doesn't have as many nasty side effects as the regular formula has.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/YYO5F
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.
