Welcome to the Forum!
My diagnosis is similar. I was diagnosed T2 in 2000 and on several meds until two years ago. I am now insulin dependent since that time. Insulin may be the best thing in you case, it was in mine. The best that I can determine, the pills will only work for about ten years. Do some research, look into counting carbs, most what you will need to know is in the first three threads in the T2 Section and try a tag search on "Advanced Carb Counting". I have been counting carbs and taking a bolus at each meal for the carbs. This works very well for me, perhaps it will work for you as well. Basically, at this point, you are T1 in methodology, so treat it as such. Good luck with your control, management and the insulin.
