When you are on metformin, how do you prevent your blood sugar from going too low? It is dificult for me to tell what some of the symptoms I am having, are from.

You should understand and watch out for the telltale symptoms of hypoglycemia. In that, fatigue, somnolence, nausea and vomiting, headache, hunger, sweating, anxiety, tremulousness, nervousness, etc should be watched, as these are the symptoms commonly associated with sugar going too low. Later on unconsciousness will follow.

First, you need to make sure you are actually low. Sometimes you may feel low but you really are not. If you are consistently low, you need to determine if it is at a particular time of day or is it all the time. Metformin may or may not be right for you, but more than likely you just need your dose adjusted by your doctor or perhaps you will see a pattern of not eating enough carbs when you take your medicine.

If you are having regualar lows after taking your Metformin, you need to have your medications reasessed by your Dr.
On a low you generally feel, clammy, very hungry, shaky, possibly faint if it is very low, difficulty thinking, irritable, cold, tired etc.
