| Candy, your numbers are begining to normalize, which does make you feel like you're going low, even though you're not.
Under 70 is considered low. I often run in the 70's, and when this first happened, I felt shaky and "odd," but as my body adjusted, I didn't notice the shakiness anymore.
Your metformin, diet and lifestyle changes are giving you numbers to be proud of. I see 80's often, esp in the evening (its those pesky morning #s that give me trouble).
If you take your evening dose of metformin at bedtime, you could take it with supper. I found taking it later in the evening helped my morning #s, so I often took it just before bed.
Sounds like you're doing well. If you start going 70 or below, then you might want to see about decreasing your metformin. though 500 mg twice daily is a pretty low dose.
You're doing well!
