For a type 2 taking only Metformin hypos would not be a problem.

Welcome @Kevin000
Your levels are excellent, well done, the changes you have made are obviously paying off.
When you hear or read about people getting really unwell because their blood sugar is too low, it is caused by having too much insulin or one of the other more aggressive medications.
Metformin works by limiting how much of your stored glucose is released from your liver, it will not remove any sugar from your blood in the same way that insulin will.
Metformin helps a little by not letting your liver add to the sugar in your diet, but the changes you have made to your diet will be the main reason for your good levels.
