Hello everyone.

I have PCOS and am taking 750mg a day of Metformin XL to control my symptoms. I experience none of the dreaded gastro-intestinal side-effects, but it does make me hypoglycemic (if I don't eat every 3-4 hours, I start to feel shaky, light-headed and panicky).

Will starting a low-carb lifestyle only make these side-effects worse? I'm afraid that I will practically pass out if I drastically cut my carbs while taking Metformin. I'm hoping that I can eventually phase the drugs out if I can manage my PCOS through diet alone. I hate feeling shaky and light-headed all the time.
