Dear sir
According to american diabetes association guidelines
The first line of treatment is metformin, if not controlled with the adequate possible dosage, then add secretogogue like glimeperide if the fasting blood sugars are high
If not controlled properly then add a prandial regulator like voglibose or newer molecules like gliptins.
But when we look into your case it is best to select an basal insulin to control your fasting sugars.
Thanks.
