What does mine say?
I've always picked the second type2 on list. Should I be choosing first instead? I'll have a play around.
Yours shows the correct selection for your situation - Insulin-dependent Type 2.

@tubamanandy - Metformin half-life is 6.2 hours though it remains in the body systems for 96.8 hours (4 days).

Effective plasma level is better achieved if taken in divided doses during the day.
