You could try either Chromimum GTF or Chromium Picolinate. They help with the insulin.
Of course the best help with insulin is exercise. So make sure you are doing that too.

The less body fat you have, the more insulin sensitive you are (easier said than done I know! ). But just the act of exercise (even without weight loss) makes you immediately more insulin sensitive.
Yes, chromium is good, and also magnesium & alpha lipoic acid. Herbs that help are gymnema, ginseng, & fenugreek. As a naturopath, I can prescribe a formula that contains all these (in Australia) so it might be worth asking a local naturopath if they have anything similar.
The importance of a low GI diet is also invaluable.

I would say the nearest herbal equivalent to met for your body would be chromium GTF
other things which are supposed to help are:
calcium
magnesium
vitamin D and
taurine (which you can get from sugar free red bull!)
