Hi,
Your blood sugars are still very high.
Maximum daily dose of metformin is 2650 mg, I understand. So you are well below this still.
Suggest you take efforts to further reduce your blood sugars.
normal fasting should be in the range of about 4.4 - 5.2.
2 hours post eating should be less than 7.7 and ideally less than 6.6 (or close to fasting levels).
Low carb diet may help greatly with reducing post eating blood sugars (look into low carb / ketogenic / paleo-style).

May I suggest you do some research on the Ketogenic Diet. It is a huge lifestyle change, but is totally worth it. Ketogenic lifestyle requires that you cut out almost all carbs. You eat less than 20g of carbs a day, moderate amount of protein 50-100g/day (60-75 is ideal for most people), and 100-150g fat/day. It is a high fat diet that switches your body from using carbs for energy to using fat for energy.
There are things you can start with your doctors approval to help that mainly include lifestyle changes of diet and exercise, losing weight and in particular belly fat, etc. https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/insulin-resistance-syndrome#1
Are you over weight at all?
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Exercise. Go for at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity (like brisk walking) 5 or more days a week. If you're not active now, work up to that.
Get to a healthy weight .
Hi,
You are already doing the lifestyle measures to manage diabetes with low carb eating and exercise. If you want to step it up a notch diet-wise, you could look into ketogenic diet, which can further normalize blood sugars for some.
Changing your exercise time (maybe late afternoon / evening, if you typically exercise in the morning) may be worth a try. Other possibilities:
- a small late night snack (with protein and fat) may help bring down your fasting numbers; this works for some.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. blood sugar dropping rapidly when after exercise. My doctor said it could be the phentermine but that the metformin xr could also be reacting to the phentermine. I stoped the metformin, felt better then my sugar started going up.
