Metformin is causing the liver to prevent the conversion of fat tissues into glucose.
During low blood sugar level, the beta cells of the pancreas secreting the glucagon hormone. This hormone operates in the liver, causing it to convert glycogen into glucose thus raising the glucose level in the blood. Thus, the leaver prevent many of the hypoglycemia. Alcohol inhibit this liver functionality.
