Newer Type 2 Meds

Has anyone tried any of the newer Diabetes drugs that are supposed to help with weight loss ? My latest A1c was 8.2. The Dr wants me to start on Novolin. I have been taking Metformin and Glipizide. I am concerned about weight gain with the Novolin. Any suggestions ? I am a newbie.
