Metoformin

Hi all good evening how much does metofirmin actually help to control blood glucose is diet and exercise regime more important,?

Diet is far more important.
As far as I have read, metformin slows down the amount of sugar your liver produces but does nothing against what you eat, so diet is the key. Exercise does help as well of course, but I believe diet is the most important thing.

Note: I'm T1 and don't take metformin so that is what I'm led to believe by reading various posts about metformin.

Hi. Yes, Metformin reduces the background output of glucose from the liver. It never affects BS by more than around 1 to 2mmol depending on dose.

That'd be the diet, not the metformin. So, WELL DONE!
