Insulinoma

Hey guys, just wanted to know if someone was actually diagnosed with Insulinoma?
What were your readings.

I personally had 24 fasting insulin about 3 months ago. With 2 months of metformin and daily walks and good diet, I have managed to bring it down to 11.
Homa IR is 1.41 and fasting glucose is now 79 which earlier was 96.

I also have 160 Beta cell function value but I have no idea what that is.

The problem is that I still get very very hungry, though I am able to control my hunger for longer now than before.

Is it possible I have insulinoma? If so how did I see an improvement in the readings?

Edit: Also wanted to mention that I had to get off metformin after 2 months because I had a very bad incident where my sugar went below dangerously low levels.
Not sure if I should still continue with it?

Same as title. 27M here from India. Just looking for anyone to chat and share somethings with.
Mostly looking for clarity around few things. Feel like my mind is not in a good state and unable to really think through it.
