Did you consider start LCHF diet? It is indeed very effective at controlling blood glucose. My husband started with this diet last year and his blood glucose ilowered immediately. Now it is mostly at normal level WITHOUT any medicines.

You need to speak to your doctor regarding your meds, we aren't medically qualified to advise you. Also you should never put your personal contact details on an open forum as you could end up getting lots of spam emails or worse! lowering your carbs will help. cheeck xperthealth.org.uk and diabetes.org.uk for education on diabetes.

Are you a type 1 or Type 2 diabetic ? The advice will almost certainly be different depending on type.
