Ok.. here is what I found. I think this is what you are talking about.. It also includes what I was saying about making the body respond to its own insulin. So we are both right!
How Does It Work?
Metformin is part of a class of
diabetes medications known as biguanide medications. The drug works in several ways. For example, it decreases the amount of sugar (glucose) made by the liver. It can also decrease the amount of sugar absorbed into the body (from the diet) and can make
insulin receptors more sensitive, helping the body respond better to its own insulin. All of these effects cause a decrease in blood sugar levels.
