Brief Answer:
Get your lipid profile and HbA1c checked

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,

I understand and appreciate your concern...

First you need to get your lipid profile, microalbuminuria and HbA1c checked. Your medications are sufficient for time being if you are committed for lifestyle changes..

First stay away from all the fast / processed / and fried food stuffs .. divide your meal in to 4-5 parts per day when ever you feel hungry.. add more of fiber rich food stuffs like green leafy vegetables, raw fruits.. (not juices), eat very less of carbohydrates (rice) avoid sugar completely.. take Millets and breads prepared out of it like ragi.. ragi is a very good source of calcium too...do take more of proteins ... like egg white... say no to oils and cholesterol rich food stuffs ... You can take fish (boiled) but chicken (without skin) rarely...sir, based on this you prepare your diet chart and strictly follow it ..

Do exercise .. walk at least half an hour to one hour a day ... try and practice yoga and pranayama ... some aasanas are very easy and useful.. stop smoking and reduce your alcohol intake.. if you can follow these (have to!!) you can definitely see difference yourself with the same or even reduced dose of insulin!!! IN THE NEXT 3-4 MONTHS WHEN YOU GO FOR INVESTIGATIONS...

ALL THE BEST
