Hello,
Metformin can not be the subtitute to the injectable insulin.
There is something wrong on your part to understand the instructions fom your doctor.
In fact metformin and injectable insulin be both taken for a better control of your blood sugar levels.
For clarity,consult your treating doctor.
Thanks
