Uncontrolled High Sugar Level & HbA1c

I was diagnosed with diabetes 1.5 years ago (since 2025). At that time, my sugar levels were as follows: Fasting 274 and HbA1c 11.9. I consulted a naturopathic doctor who did not prescribe any medication but gave me B12 and D injections. After three months, my test results were:- Fasting 285 and HbA1c 11.7, showing no improvement, so I stopped treatment. On October 9, 2026, I had another blood test (kindly refer the summary attached for latest blood test report). Currently, my fasting blood sugar is 372 and HbA1c is 12.5, which is severe. I consulted a diabetologist who recommended insulin, but I prefer not to take it. The doctor also prescribed metformin and a cholesterol medication (10 mg, name unclear; my LDL level is 121) along with D3. The tests "NOT MENTIONED" in the attached summary are "NORMAL" Questions: 1. Is it possible to normalize my sugar levels without insulin? 2. What medications do you recommend based on my report? 3. Is this serious? 4. What to do and what not?
