Hello,
To answer your question, since metformin does not directly stimulate insulin secretion, it is quite rare that it causes hypoglycemia when used alone
However, if you combine this medication with strenuous exercise, for example, you may experience hypoglycemia
I hope this answers your question.
Thank you and have a nice day
