Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concerns regarding to your mother's health.
From your report i can see that she is on the maximum of oral antidiabetic drugs (taking 3 for the moment).
If the glucose levels persists high (HbA1c-the mean glucose level of the last three months over 7%) , even with this treatment then insulin is recommended.
Meanwhile, if she is overweight, diet is very important to be strict, restricted in carbohydrates.
Hope the information will help.
