| Its unlikely to have a true hypo (under 70/3.89) on metformin if you eat regularly. I was on 500 mg twice daily metformin for quite awhile, and did go down to the 60's a couple of times, but BOTH times it was when i'd skipped a meal or done lots more exercise than usual.
Metformin does not cause you to produce more insulin, but it does help you better use what you are producing. You are more likely to have hypos on the sulfonylures (such as Glipizide) as they actually stimulate insulin production.
