[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2448331, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=548024]@MichaelTimothy[/USER], Imho, I don't think it was the metformin on an empty stomach -- when I was still on metformin and took the tablet without food (and I did this quite often) the worst which happened was a bit of nausea, though usually I was just fine. My guess would be that it was the prepping for the lunch party (a bit like exercise for our body, and add into this a bit of stress). Personally, when I spent something like an hour or more in the kitchen (like cooking a bit more complex meal, including slicing, dicing, frying, doing dishes, etc), I always see significantly higher blood sugar levels. It actually does a better job at raising them than vigorous exercise. When you also consider the time of day (we are more insulin resistant in the morning) and the empty stomach (glucose dump from the liver for energy), I believe this would pretty much explain all of the rise.
