[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1910400, member: 223921"] Metformin is not directly a blood sugar reducing medication and has little effect on blood sugars so that estimate is about right. But can have more indirect benefits as it lowers the amount of sugar produced in the liver, and also helps to increase the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin. Some benefits atributed to it are: Anti-ageing. Reduces Insulin levels in Type 2 Diabetes. Increases peripheral glucose uptake. Increases sensitivity and number of insulin receptors. Cardio protective. Decreases glucose absorption from GI Tract. Facilitates WEIGHT LOSS. [/QUOTE]
