Not eating won't help that
If you are "high" before meal time it's because you have a Fasting/Pre-Prandial Sugar problem that is not about what you are eating
Metformin is "the" drug used to manage that number. So if you are chronically "too high" before eating then you should treat that with meds - metformin until it is maxed out then the addition of another (2nd) drug if necessary
When you eat it stimulates the pancreas to release insulin - that helps deal with the carbs from the meal Plus that higher sugar that you started out with
If you don't eat, no insulin is released and your blood sugar continues to climb since your body releases it during times you are not eating/digesting
