Metformin works by lowering sugar production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.

Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated to prevent dehydration. Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia symptoms.
