Hypoglycemia is one of the side effects of metformin. It can happen if you're taking other drugs (aside from metformin) that also lowers your blood sugar or if your taking a dose higher than you should have.
It can also happen is you have diabetes, unknowingly---but I am assuming that you were in a clean bill of health prior to metformin therapy.
If your doctors seem not to be of any help, you have the option to seek another doctor's opinion. Meanwhile, while you're on metformin, make sure that you take your meds on schedule, preferably with meals & keep a source of sugar available in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar.
