I had this fear up until about a month ago. My doctor told me that I can not go into hypo while on Metformin. However, I do not think that is true becuz when my BS drops 93 or below, I get "symptoms" and have to eat a snack if it is not my usual mealtime. My doctor told me that my body is trying to adjust to the lower numbers and it will take awhile and not to worry.
Your numbers will rise naturally when you eat. The best thing to do is learn to listen to your body. If it has been 3 or 4 hours....chances are you need to eat. Your BS won't go from 120 to below 70 quickly.....you will have plenty of time to prepare or purchase food and eat if you are at 120.......100.......85........etc.
I always keep an atkins bar, some almonds, and those glucose tablets with me in my purse/car to make sure I am prepared for hypo......and I HAVE needed them.
I also have a bracelet and info on me that identifies to ppl should I lose consciousness or get disoriented that I am diabetic/type2.
I have informed the man that works with me what to do should I be unable to help myself. He knows to call 911 and tell them I am diabetic should I lose consciousness. It is always good to inform those you know on what to do to help you.
Keep up the good work and try to relax.
I have been so busy in my garden that I forget I am diabetic and need to eat......and keep hydrated.....but they symptoms always remind me :)

The stress of worrying about it is worse than it happening. Eat a good diet, check often, when you're sick you need to pay more attention.

Take a few protein bars when you go to the gym. Keep a few cold drinks in your fridge. The only time it will drop is when you sleeping, that is why it is suggested to eat a bedtime protein snack.

There was a thread a while back about letting people know you Diabetic, contrary to what some believe, I tell everyone I am Diabetic, I want to be safe and secure in my skin. So tell your co-workers, keep a few Glucose Tabs and a Protein Bar in your pocket.

You only live once...enjoy it!

Thanks for your replies. So informing people around me and keeping snacks handy is the key i guess?
Yes i think i worry too much about it.

There have been times when my blood sugar has been in 90ies and i have been perfectly fine, and then there have been time when being around 120 has made me feel shaky...

you can't keep thinking the worse is going to happen, just makes things worse, so relax and eat 3 meals, have snacks if necessary

I am on metformin and I have gotten some lows, but usually they are my creation - not eating, or eating enough carbs or just out working in the yard lol

I know I start getting shaky and ravenous around 70. If this starts to happen I know to check my blood sugar and eat something. Since I recently went on humalog I bought me some of the diabetic tablets you carry with you encase your blood sugar would drop if you can't eat immediately. Be prepared it's all you can do.
