[QUOTE="Hobs, post: 327061, member: 24693"] Metformin belongs to a class of drugs known as biguanide medications and works in several ways. The tablets reduces the amount of sugar made by the liver, limits the amount of sugar absorbed into the body from the diet, [b]and[/b] makes insulin receptors more sensitive so helping the body respond better to its own insulin. All of these effects above cause a decrease in blood sugar levels, so if you are able to stick with it, you should be better for it. [/QUOTE]
