We'll need a little more information than that... What did you eat, what does a regular day's meals look like, and do you follow a certain diet? Are there other conditions you take medication for (can be of influence)? If a test result is suprising (like the 3,8 after a meal), do you wash your hands and try again? Some things can skew a result, like hand lotion etc.

Take care,
Jo
 
One of the common side effects of Metformin is to reduce appetite.

If you're doing low carb are you including some fats in your meals?
