Hi Dear, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
I am sorry to hear you have been having difficulties getting your blood sugar in the normal range now. I am very happy you are this conscientious because having a well controlled blood sugar is very important in preventing the onset of diabetic complications.
regarding medication galvusmet is a good medication.
He is on insulin still his sugars are not under control.
there could be two possibilities
1.His insulin requirements might be more than the prescribed dose of insulin.
2.He might not be following a balanced diabetes diet and exercise.
to guide you further i need to know about
duration of diabetes,Age, height weight and diet pattern,current glucometer readings,Hba1c report.
I suggest you to meet your doctor for dose revisions

Hope I was able to help you.

Take care.
Best Regards.
