I have been on Met for the past 2 months. I've never gone hypo. I kind of feel uncomfortable when I go below 80. I can some how sense when I go below 80. I fix it immediately by a small snack.

I've also read on the internet that met doesn't cause hypo as it doesn't stimulate insulin production. It rather works on reducing glucose absorbtion and improves body cells react better to insulin (for insulin resistance).
