Hello,
Your husband is a Type II Diabetic and on OHA's.
His blood sugar is not under control.
His HbA1c is shows poor control.
Uncontrolled diabetes may produce many microvascular and macrovascular complications.
Going for insulin may be a good idea at this stage.
The pain your husband experiencing may be very well due to hyperglycemia and inflammation.
Insulin helps in controlling sugars as well as inflammation.
