Have you looked into Metformin ER. Its an Extended release that MAY ease the tummy issues. Are you testing often? How many carbs are you eating per day? Low cal is nice for maintaing weight or even loosing it, but if you are eating carb laden foods then it wont do alot to help your BG.

Have you had a recent C-peptide to see how much insulin you are producing?
You may need to go on insulin to help lower you BG levels. Insulin is NOT a failing, it is an alternative form of treatment.
