Sorry you're having a rough time, Sarah. There's hope.  I was stubborn and refused to change my diet for my first yr on met, and I suffered greatly for it. When I started moderating my carbs, I found a HUGE difference in how I felt and my hormone bloodwork improved so much after that time too. Increasing my exercise helped too, because exercise decreases your insulin.
The dizziness is likely hypoglycemia, and that means you are not taking in enough calories on the metformin. You need to give your body some more calories for your insulin to work on, so I'd try to eat small, high protein snacks to keep your blood sugar up. You'll feel so much better.
Hope it helps and all the best!
