Lyme and high blood glucose

Hi everyone!
I joined here because i need to see if anyone can help me. Im 37 years old and i was diagnosed with lyme in 2011 and i was diagnosed 6 months after being bitten because no dr could tell me what was wrong with me during the 6 months i was trying to figure it out. I was severely debilitated and bedridden for 6 months. After finally finding out i had lyme, found out it is in my brain and my heart. I formed a left buncle branch block on my heart almost immediatley of contracting lyme. Did all the meds the lyme dr prescribed and they didnt help. ive been keeping it at bay with vitamin c and himalayan sea salt 1000mg each taken 3 times a day.

Now 10 years later i feel awful. 2 severe migranes lasting 3 days each, then neck nerve pain, eye pain, blurry vision, high blood pressure and stomach pain. I went to the ER concerned of an anurism or tumor, got a CT scan, thank God none of that, but my blood glucose was 129 and i was fasting too. So i go to my primary, he checks my A1C and it was normal in the 5s, did a blood test and am waiting on my results. I dont know how i can have a normal A1C and then high glucose. He gives me metformin 500mg and blood pressure meds. Been 4 days on metformin and im feeling worse. The side effects of the metformin are hurting me and it doesnt appear to be helping.

So i bought some magnesium and b12, i take metformin in the morning and then the b12 and magnesium in the afternoon. I took them for 2 days like that and then i start feeling better, until i take the metformin in the mornings then my day goes downhill until i take the magnesium and b12. Im going to stop the metformin for now and stay on magnesium and b12 hoping that works.

Ive been working on losing some weight, im about 30lbs over, not bad at all, been that way for years without issues until now. Changed my diet, no sugars, no salts, no dairy, just healthy frozens and salads and lots of water.

So heres my question, how do i lower my blood sugars while having lyme. Has anyone gone through this before and what did you do. I feel like death and my quality of life has declined drastically. Sorry for the long read but i wanted to be very transparent. Please help.
Thank you for reading.

there is a recent thread on here on blood sugars - that may be worth a read

the poster there was concerned about theirs being too low and driving symptoms - rather than too high - but it wasn't super low in their case either

similarly i don't think yours was high enough to be a great concern - especially if A1C is normal
things like sudden stress can cause blood sugar to peek for an hour or so

have you had it tested several times in a row and found it to be high ?
if so what were the sequence of readings - fasting and after meals

You absolute NEED to read The Diabetes Code by Dr Jason Fung. In fact, I wish everyone would read it . It’s an interesting and easy read and I 100% cant recommend it enough. If you follow his rules youe lyme symptoms, weight and inflammation will get better too.

Metformin is not a solution to high blood glucose and the book will explain why. You may be in the early stages of metabolic syndrome and you can reverse it easily

This metabolic syndrome sounds scary. Are you saying i may have a heart attack or stroke
