I have been taking Metformin/glucophage for 2 weeks now, and messed up last night--I

have been staying completely away from sugar-containing drinks/snacks/whatever. However, last night was the first time I'd been out w/my girlfriend since I began the medication for diabetes, and I just completely forgot to ask about sugar-free drinks at a coffee shop. When we sat down at the table, and I took a sip of what I'd ordered, I immediately knew I had made a huge mistake. She could tell too by the look on my face, but I reassured her that I was fine; it'd be OK this one time. Boy was I wrong. I felt a little dizzy and queasy last night by the time I got home (about and hour after I drank this "white phantom" drink). Not only that, but I woke up this morning feeling nauseated and shaky--like a sugar hangover or something. Has anyone experienced anything like this after a sugar load while on Metformin? Is this something I can expect in the future if I mess up again?
