How Can One Control And Lower The Blood Sugar Levels ?

i am having blood sugar for last 10-12 yrs. earlier i was given Gemer P2 &P1 (morning-evening) for about 4 yrs. it was under good control. however, with the change of doctors consulted, medicines also got changed. last year Jan-Feb i was found suffering from enlarged prostate and that was operated. at that time, my blood sugar level rised alarmingly and it was always 200-300 range. at that time i started taking human mixtard insulin(30-70). gradually doses were reduced, then stopped and i started taking again oral medicine from november last. presently i am taking amiryl forte 2 mg twice daily. but i am finding my sugar level ( fasting -pp) generally remains between 120-130 and 180-190 respectively. can u pl advise how to control it better and lower the level. should i change the medicine?
