Fasting blood glucose 220, hgca1 10.6.should i put in insulin?

Likely yes: Depends on dose of metformin and if you are appropriate for other oral agents or not, but Insulin will help get your sugar under better control and lower your hgba1c. Talk to your dr / diabetologist.

Diabetes: Your fasting sugar and a1c indicate poor control of diabetes. For type 2 diabetes there are several options for med combinations. Your doctor can counsel you on which meds are optimal to bring the numbers down, and Insulin is certainly an option for non-oral management.
