[QUOTE="iph888, post: 75855, member: 15126"] Hi Hanadr I thought that as well about Metformin but then was waiting to see the nurse ar my GP's and saw a diabetic mgazine in the waiting room. I read it and it gave all the symptoms of a hypo & said it was unusual but not unknown on tablets and when I said this to the diabetic nurse she agreed it could be. I think that in light of my weight loss and change in HbA1c levels she possibly just wanted to make sure but with a HbA1c of 4.9 (I was 16 when diagnosed) she could afford to be cautious about it. To answer your question I have been training twice a week (normally a 1/2 hour run with sprints followed by 1 to 1-1/2 hours of weights) I had lost over 5 stone & was using no other medication. Since then I have had a daughter and between coming off metformin (from 4x 500mg/day) and losing free time and sleep I have eaten my way up a stone. I have also not had any lightheadedness since coming off the metformin. Do you have any medical knowledge or does anyone know if I should have been experiencing these lightheaded moments at all?
