Don't know the science behind all this but I am on Metformin and I can easily get levels below 4 if I don't have snacks between meals and have even been down to 2.8 once.....so not false hypos!!

You can get hypo's on Metformin. I changed jobs last year, not long after being diagnosed and the job entailed a commute on the train.... It took me a couple of weeks of getting home shattered, shaking and sweating to realise that I needed something to "put me on" till I got home. An oat bar does the job.
I was frequently getting home (before having the bar) and reading 4 and under. Once I went as low as 3.2 - So yes, you can get a real hypo on Metformin.
Sometimes I get fake ones even now, where I feel I like I'm hypo but when I do a check I'm 5 or 6. I'd agree, it's just the body being tricked, and I know not to eat anything to perk up by BG.
