Metformin: 3 Important Considerations to Look Out For
Metformin is a medication used to reduce or lower blood glucose levels, which is useful for treating type 2 diabetes and also helping resolve symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome. Metformin reduces blood glucose levels via at least 3 mechanisms, including reducing gluconeogenesis in the liver, reducing absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract, and also increasing activation of the insulin receptor (increases insulin sensitivity). In this lesson, we discuss 3 important considerations to make when taking metformin, including who should not take it, what not to do when taking metformin and also nutritional deficiencies that can occur in metformin users.
