A reading of 104 in the morning puts you as being a solid pre-diabetic if not already a diabetic (a reading of 125 diagnoses you as a diabetic... but you really don't want to get there!). I would really recommend seeing an Endo since your numbers are all over the place. I was diagnosed a hypoglycemic when I was 18, I am 24 now and was just diagnosed a pre-diabetic and Met has helped me a ton. I am on Met, it has helped my reactive hypoglycemia, but I do still have "hypoglycemic" attacks but they have gotten better the longer I have been on Met. Met helps to lower your overall blood sugar and sometimes women feel a little more hypo as they get used to the lower numbers but that should even out in 4-6 months. And, I would look at your carb counting. Things like lasagne, corn, etc. are really high in carbs. You should ideally be aiming for 30grams of carbs at meals and 15grams at snack time per ADA guidelines.
