Hello sir
I do understand that you have diabetes for 2 years, on various medication and your concern seems to be related to gastric problem.
Your gastric dumping can be related to metformin and also due to volibo. I would prefer to change these medications and see how your symptoms improve. If your sugar increases after stopping these medications we can choose other medications that can be tolerated by you for blood sugar control. Regular walking and a diabetic diet will help to reduce your sugars.
I would also prefer to check your lipid profile and HBA1c levels
