Assuming you are type 2, it's time to get a gym membership. My 74yo mom got a personal trainer and a gym membership, and was able to get completely off her metphormin. Took about a year of work.
Exercise and/or diet are a huge help for type 2 diabetics. Cannot stress it enough. Yes, it sucks going to the gym. She does twice a week (hour each time) with a personal trainer and then goes another 3-4 days a week. Honestly, though, the days she goes without the PT, she isn't really doing much other than socializing. If you have experience in the gym, you may not need the PT, but if not, I recommend going with one for a while till you feel comfortable with the equipment. If you have any friends that go, buddy up with them. An accountability partner is a big help.
Check into your insurance - some insurance will actually pay part/all of your gym membership, or offers substantial discounts.
"pay now or pay later" - that's the choice before you.
Good luck in your journey.
