You surely need to continue Metformin but that alone isn't sufficient. A second drug has to be added based on your history. Being a young diabetic you need to maintain strict glycemic control (HbA1C< 6.5%) to be able to reduce risk of chronic complications.
Considering your age, I must also advise you observe strict contraception. Pregnancy must not be accidental but planned in young diabetic patients.
