Metformin 850 mg three times a day is a high dose. Reduce it to 500 mg three times a day after meals. Also take gliclazide er 30 mg twice a day 30 min before breakfast & dinner. Also control your diet & exercise.

Looking at the details I suggest you should shift to long acting basal analogue insulin like injection basalog, start with 6 units once a day and increase the dose based on daily blood sugar levels. You will have to do self monitoring of sugar levels. One of the oral medications namely metformin with glimepiride to be continued.
