Metformin

Metformin is a medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood sugar levels by improving the way your body handles insulin, a hormone that regulates sugar in the blood. Metformin can also aid in weight management and may even have benefits beyond diabetes, such as reducing the risk of certain diseases. It’s typically taken as a pill, and while it’s generally well-tolerated, it can cause mild digestive issues in some people. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for effective and safe use of this medication.
