He is on medication , taking Glimy M2. He is not on insulin injection. Can he start  insulin since blood sugar is not controlled ? What tests he needs to be done to get correct dose of insulin ?

If he is taking only Glimy M2 once a day, there is scope for changing tablets. U need to consult a diabetologist with all relevant details
