Is Metformin-SR The Right Medicine Even If PPBS Has Increased Since Last Year?

Last Feb 16 my blood sugar fasting was 128 whereas this Feb 17 it is 107 AND Last Feb 16 my blood sugar 2hrs PP was 159 whereas this Feb 17 it is 191. I have been prescribed and taking for last one year Metformin SR 1gm/2times per day. Though there is reduction in fasting level but *increase* in PP level Pl clarify why. Also suggest any alternative medicine required.
