Hi.Can understand your concern.As per your query you are taking medicine for diabetes which is metformin..Sometimes it happens that glucose level goes very down in blood due to diet control as well as the medication.Due to this u may be feeling weakness or sleeplessness.this condition called hypoglycaemia.I suggest you to consult your treating doctor about this if there is any need for the dosage adjustment or change in medications...I hope the information helps you....Take care.
