Metformin does not stimulate insulin secretion and thus does not cause hypoglycemia, i.e. a significant reduction in blood sugar levels. Caution is recommended only if it is used with insulin or other oral antidiabetic drugs (e.g. sulphonylureas or meglitinides). According to the available data, metformin does not increase the risk of an epileptic seizure.
