How do the diabetics handle the liquid diet?

I am diabetic. My surgery is scheduled for June 15th (finally). I am having real problems with the liquid diet because when I take my metformin, if I don't eat carbs my blood sugar drops low and I get sick. I am tempted to stop taking my metformin so that my numbers will stay normal but I'm not sure if that will help. Any suggestions?

    Ask your doctor! Your surgeon or your doc who prescribed the metformin. Don't just quit your meds w/out your docs knowledge/guidance. You'll need to do more liquids post op...
