Scientific Evidence

Metformin is a first-line medication for the management of type 2 diabetes due to its proven efficacy in lowering blood glucose levels. Studies have shown that metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and increases insulin sensitivity, leading to improved glycemic control.

Research published in the American Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Care journal demonstrated that metformin not only lowers blood sugar levels but also reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients.

Consult your healthcare provider before starting metformin to determine the appropriate dosage and to discuss any potential side effects or drug interactions.
