Is Insulin The Most Effective Medicine For Diabetes?

I have diabetes and because of a problem on my foot last year I had my right leg amputated.
I weighed 97 kg on 18th December 2012 and now reside in a nursing home where my food is prepared for me and I receive insulin by injection 3 times per day.
I am 65 years old but my weight has now progressed to130kg Any ideas?
