[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2183291, member: 345386"] Hi Lucas - Lots of folks talk about their sugars going a bit bonkers when they're not so well, or have had surgery. To be honest, in your shoes, I'd just give it a few days to see what happens. You've had a big assault on your body today - from the stress, through the anaesthetic, and the physical assault of the repair itself. Your body is trying to give you energy to fight off that assault. Most folks find once they're over the immediate couple of days of the op, their numbers start coming back into line. Again, in your shoes, I'd be a bit wary of starting Metformin. Some folks find Metformin upsets their digestive systems when they start it. The very last thing you need is a badly upset tummy, requiring a steady relationship with your loo! I'd give it a week or so and see what's happening with those numbers, and then if they weren't coming back towards my more usual numbers, I'd have a chat with my GP about it all. As I say; that'd be my approach, but you know your body. [/QUOTE]
