Roxy - here's a really good drug interactions website, where you can enter whatever drugs you are taking or thinking about taking to check for interactions. I take both (500 Met 2x, and 500 Fenu 3x) and don't have my blood sugar levels get too low. But everyone is different. HTH Dianna

FENUGREEK may interact with METFORMIN (in Metformin Tablets)
Taking fenugreek may lower blood sugar levels. When it is used together with drugs like metformin that also reduce blood sugar levels, fenugreek may cause blood sugar to get too low--a condition called hypoglycemia. Signs that blood sugar is too low may include feeling weak or shaky, having a headache, or being confused or nervous. Inform your doctor before taking metformin together with fenugreek or any other herbal supplement. Your doctor may want to monitor blood sugar levels more closely and possibly adjust doses of metformin more frequently than usual. If you experience problems, you may need to stop taking fenugreek. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.
