Metformin, also known
by the brand names Glucophage, Glucophage XR, Fortamet, and others, has
been available for the oral treatment of type 2 diabetes since 1995.
Metformin helps to control blood sugar (glucose) levels and is sometimes
used in combination with insulin or other medications. Metformin is a true workhorse for diabetics: a 2014 study in JAMA Internal Medicine
showed that people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who were
initially started on metformin were less likely to need other diabetic
drug treatments to control their blood sugar. In fact, metformin is
recommended in guidelines as the first-line drug treatment for new patients.
