Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes glucose, or blood sugar. People with diabetes have high blood sugar levels, which can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. One of the most common medications used to treat diabetes is metformin. Metformin is a type of biguanide and works by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and increasing the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels. In addition to its glucose-lowering effects, metformin has also been found to have weight-loss properties. Studies have shown that people with diabetes who take metformin tend to lose weight, on average, 2-3 kg more than those who do not take the medication. The weight loss effects of metformin are thought to be due to its ability to decrease the absorption of carbohydrates from the gut, as well as by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing appetite.
