Dear Sir
Not entirely sure why insulin was started immediately. Either they thought you have type 1 diabetes or had very bad new onset type 2 which is rare.
If you are off insulin. Then you definitely don’t have type 1.
Not sure why glucobay was started. Not even 1st, 2nd 3rd or 4th line medication.
You have diabetes and need medication to prevent complications.
Next Steps
Take an online consult to get the right dose and medication . Will require initial extra blood sugar monitoring.
