You probably had food poisoning, very unpleasant, and you were probably wise to not take Metformin. I'd suggest introducing both food and Metformin very cautiously - having had it try to turn me inside out for a few weeks I am probably being a bit cautious, but your insides are probably feeling very tender at the moment. Keep up the water.
I can't think of any reason you'd have high blood glucose though.
