[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1230637, member: 41816"] Of course you can have hypos on metformin. Any of us, at any time can have hypos, for different reasons. It isn't common (actually quite rare for a non medicated person to have them, but it is POSSIBLE) Yes, some medications may cause hypos, and metformin is not known to be one of those, but it doesn't stop a hypo happening for a different reason. I would get a meter and test when you experience the symptoms. If they ARE hypos, go back to your nurse with the evidence, and discuss it firmly. If they AREN'T hypos, go back to your doc, and discuss these unpleasant symptoms which may, or may not be related to diabetes. Plus, false hypos are horrible, but your meter will inform you on whether they are, or aren't happening to you. [/QUOTE]
