Brief Answer:
High

Detailed Answer:
A blood glucose level of 204 is high, especially if it is in the fasting state.

When I see a patient with this type of reading, I examine them in-person thoroughly and order the following tests:

CBC
CMP
HbA1c
Urine Albumin to creatinine ratio
Lipids
TSH

The after reviewing results I consider other medications if necessary.

In your case, I see you are already on metformin. I suggest you call your diabetes care provide and ask if it would be worthwhile increasing the dose of metformin.
