9w3d, how to deal with high fasting levels? I'm hungry 24/7

Hi, I have recently joined this subreddit. I am 9w3d first time mom (28F, Indian) after a miscarriage last year. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes very early and I feel like it's a very long journey. My all parameters were high- fasting, one hr post meal and two hour post meal.

Currently, I am on metformin 500 mg morning and night. Still my numbers are:

- Fasting (98 - 129)

- Post meal (mostly lower than 120, sometimes 129-138)

I am not able to control my fasting sugar. I am hungry all the time, after having any meal I get hungry literally after 30 minutes. I generally have dinner at 8:30-9 pm and nothing after that, check my fasting diabetes next morning at 8:30-9 am. That's almost 12 hours fasting. Is it too much?

Can anyone please help, how to you control your fasting sugar? What snacks do you eat whole day when you feel hungry? What's the right way of testing fasting sugar?
