Hello,

I would suggest an insulin pump to control better the blood sugar, as for your age is high. If your physician thinks you have insulin resistance, you should try to add metformin in the therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

I think your weight is not so much that you need such a drastic step. But if you are not able to lose weight by other methods then it should be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
