Darian, I definitely think you should keep on your doc until he does something....your readings are far too high to maintain for very long without complications! OF COURSE you feel bad with numbers that high. You're pretty much at highest dose of metformin and if that's not controlling things, then you definitely need something else. Insulin may be just what you need. Just don't sit around with numbers like that much longer.
