[QUOTE="Kyi, post: 1132521, member: 211285"] I would recommend you slow down and breathe. 3 weeks is not long enough for the metformin to start working. It needs time to build up in your system. There is nothing you are doing wrong except panicking. Stress also rises blood sugars. Stress also makes you hungry as you are getting ready for the flight or fight. I think you are probably an over worrier another reason to make you hungry. Its been 3 months for me to see the changes in Blood glucose readings. I was hovering around the 9s and Im now hovering around the 6s. Still some way to go but its slowly working . The 4kg gain may not be due to eating. Muscles weight more. As to the appetite increase, you need to chew slowly and wait at least 2hrs between meals. Drinking more water will help you feel fuller. Sometimes its thirst not hunger than you are experiencing. How much do you drink per day. Do you need to increase your fluids? I can also say foods that used to spike my bloods have also changed so if they spike today, it dos not mean they will always spike your sugars. Keep testing before meals and 2 hrs after meals. If you see a big spike that's the food you need to change. One of the things I do is if Im high after 2 hrs and am due more food is to eat v low carb foods (less than 5gs of carb per 100g preferably 0gs) until the blood sugars come down again. [/QUOTE]
