@mfactor, you are type 2 so the rules aren't quite the same. And for non-diabetics they are also different. I am in agreement with @TorqPenderloin in that when I exceed around 200g of protein a day, my protein related glucose generation goes into overdrive. Depending on type and amount, I have also seen a glucagon release causing an almost instant bg rise post protein consumption, but this is normally linked to "pure" protein such as whey protein isolate shakes.
There's also recent evidence (2013) that Metformin inhibits glucagon production, so as a user of Metformin, your body's ability to undertake Gluconeogenesis is greatly reduced by its action. As a T2 eating a lot of protein and taking Metformin, you'd not see the side effects, whereas the T1s amongst us do.
