Need Medication To Bring Down The Blood Sugar Which Is 250

I am currently taking 2 500mg of metformin twice a day and have recently switched from glyburide to tradjent 5 mg once a day. I can't seem to get my blood sugar under 250. I have tried adding glucosure to see if it helps but it does not. I have been taking the tradjent for 2 weeks already. I have tried victoza but have a problem with diahrea.
