Usually the Metformin will make your testosterone levels even lower.

I can't recommend getting a CGM enough. It lets you see in real time how different food affects you. Weirdly different foods affect all of us differently. I can eat things other diabetics can't and there are some things they say are OK to eat but jack my up my BG big time.

Best wishes on getting your BG under control.
