dear sir I understand your concern.in my opinion it's quite natural to gain weight with use of insulin.kindly start using metformin and start doing exercise.the duration of diabetes is not very long I guess you may stop insulin and consider taking tablets.you can also consider taking new drugs like DPP4 inhibitors...they will control your sugars better with out much fluctuations ....take advice from u r doc......regards
