What is Metformin?
Metformin is an oral medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver. Metformin is often prescribed as a first-line treatment for diabetes management, either alone or in combination with other medications.
How does Metformin work?
Metformin works by decreasing the amount of glucose your liver produces and increasing your body's sensitivity to insulin, allowing for better glucose absorption. Unlike some diabetes medications, it does not typically cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when used alone.
