Sorry don't know what you've posted before, but why are you only taking insulin with glucose levels over 20mmol/l ?

You could call NHS Direct on 111 and ask for advice. Your symptoms might be caused by something other than diabetes. What have your blood sugars been like over the last few weeks?

Once you have transitioned onto insulin and are having it every day, you might want to ask your HCP about whether to continue with the other meds. Apart from metformin, they can have side effects and risks that many people believe outweigh their benefits. Insulin may be enough to control your BGs. There is more info about this at the Blood Sugar 101 website.
