Actually it doesn't.
Metformin causes your body to use it's insulin better, which can actually prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
To the OP: Hypoglycemia/low blood sugar is fairly common in insulin resistance/pre-diabetes. If you think you are having symptoms of it, get your doctor to do a glucose tolerance test. Also, if you can get your hands on a glucose meter (they sell them everywhere, or you may know someone who has one) test your blood sugar when you have those symptoms and see what the results are.
If that is the problem, metformin might help you. Many women with PCOS who have hypo episodes see improvement while on metformin (I did).
