[QUOTE="gfmoore, post: 563562, member: 108280"] Your liver may be dumping glucose. Are you stressed about anything (including high bg level.). Have you got some underlying medical complaint, fever, bad teeth even, cold, allergy? Don't worry you are not alone in this boat, I am also really struggling to get my levels back down again after a carb blowout this weekend (that won't be happening again.) Give it a little time, it should come down, but will take a few, perhaps many hours. It amazes me how even when I haven't eaten my bg can rocket, (also it can plummet just as fast.) Remember you have a metabolic disease. You are not well, it wasn't your fault, but you are trying to do the best you can. It's just your body has different ideas sometimes. It's a complicated design. ps metformin can take two-four weeks to kick in and you are usually started off on a low dose that might not yet be high enough. What dose are you on? Metformin works on the liver to try and stop it dumping glucose, not on bringing high levels down - gliclazide or insulin for that.
