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.

Take it with food to lower your chance of having an upset stomach. Drink plenty of fluids and practice good genital hygiene to prevent urinary tract infection. 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 such as cold sweats, cool pale skin, tremor, and anxious feeling.
