Well let me first say that I am not a doctor BUT weight gain goes along with IR, blurry vision, thirst, and UTI's are all signs of Diabetes. It sounds like, from your numbers, at you have Type II Diabetes. I have pre-diabetes and am IR. Your numbers need to be between 70-140 to avoid complications and an A1C under 6.5. (Those numbers are recommended by the American Academcy of Endo's but you could go with the higher numbers of 70-180 and an A1C under 7 if you wanted to follow the ADA). What dosage of Metformin are you on? Are you being treated by an Endo? What about adding Actos, Sulf, Avandia, Byetta? You really need to watch those numbers, anything above 140/160 causes nerve damage....leading to later complications  . Also, are you following a low-carb diet? Substituting Splenda, Truvia, Equal in place of regualr sugar? I eat a diet that has no added sugar, no white carbs, and intake around 120 grams of carbs a day while exercising 4-5 times a week for 45 minutes. Do you exercise?
