Message: <blockquote data-quote="china" data-source="post: 95546" data-attributes="member: 21637">I'm a T2, have been taking 2x500mg Metformin for 11 months now and am thriving.  I test daily; my bg readings and all other results are all good and low and I have been told that I have tight control.My question to you all is:  why am I reading (here on the forums and elsewhere) that those on Metformin shouldn't/can't/don't have hypos?  I have also had healthcare professionals (of all levels) tell me that I can't be having hypos.I find it hard to believe that this is really true as my body tells me otherwise.  I find that if I don't eat a snack between my main meals, or before/after exercising, then I start having hypo symptoms.  As a diabetic newbie I test frequently in order to learn/read what my body is telling me, and also to educate myself in self-managing my condition.  I know that if I don't eat I will go into hypo territory (bgs of 2s and 3s), plain and simple.  How do I reconcile that fact with the 'Metformin = no hypo' stance?Does anyone else on Metformin have hypos?Thanks for taking the time to read this.</blockquote>
