Hello,
It is a normal phenomenon where a person looses Control of his blood sugar levels after many years and is due to dwindling mass of beta cells in your pancreas.
Although there are still various oral medicines available which can be tried on you but eventually you would require injection insulin only.
Ypu can change GLUCOBAY to VOGLIBOSE .3 mg three times a day.
Start taking metformin 1000mg twice a day instead of once a day.
Instead of glucored you can take SITAGLIPTIN 100 mg daily.
You may add injection lantus in the night.
In my opinion you must consult a endocrinologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
You can discuss the above mentioned medicines with him..
Thanks
