John;
Welcome to the Forum!
Read the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance. The only help information available can be found in the "GB Help" thread. If your doctor has prescribed insulin, I would suggest that you take his advice. Normally, the meds (pills) will only help you for about 10 years. Apparently, they are not doing their job any more. The insulin will most likely be the best thing that you have done, it is for many. Good luck with your control and management!
