Metformin (Systemic)
Description
Metformin (met-FOR-min) is used to treat a type of diabetes
mellitus (sugar diabetes) called type 2 diabetes. With this type of
diabetes, insulin produced by the pancreas is not able to get sugar
into the cells of the body where it can work properly. Using
metformin alone, with a type of oral antidiabetic medicine called a
sulfonylurea, or with insulin will help to lower blood sugar when it
is too high and help restore the way you use food to make energy.
Many people can control type 2 diabetes with diet alone or diet and
exercise. Following a specially planned diet and exercising will
always be important when you have diabetes, even when you are taking
medicines. To work properly, the amount of metformin you take must
be balanced against the amount and type of food you eat and the
amount of exercise you do. If you change your diet, your exercise,
or both, you will want to test your blood sugar to find out if it is
too low. Your health care professional will teach you what to do if
this happens.
At some point, this medicine may stop working as well and your
blood glucose will increase. You will need to know if this happens
and what to do. Instead of taking more of this medicine, your doctor
may want you to change to another antidiabetic medicine. If that
does not lower your blood sugar, your doctor may have you stop
taking the medicine and begin receiving insulin injections instead.
Metformin does not help patients who have insulin-dependent or type
1 diabetes because they cannot produce insulin from their pancreas
gland. Their blood glucose is best controlled by insulin injections.
