Low carbing on Metformin ( glucophage )

Hi, I am on 1500mg of metformin a day and have been pleased with a return of normal menses. I have been on a 32 day cycle for the last six months. (yay!) However, I am still very overweight. I am experimenting with low carbing and starting to see some results, but am worried that this could be dangerous since I am on the insulin sensitizer (metformin). How low carb have people gone while on met? Atkins induction low is 20grams which makes me worry about hypoglycemia. I am trying to keep around 35grams with some sucess. What are those of you low carbers on metformin doing as far as carb range? Thanks!
