Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

There are two reasons why this may be happening.
One is the fact that they may be side effects of the medicines you are taking. Metformin is known to cause these symptoms.

However, I would like to rule out any possibility of hypoglycemia, and so I suggest you check your FBS, PPBS, TSH and HbA1C again. a test of lactic acid is a good idea too.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
