Metformin works by reducing the amount of glucose released into the bloodstream by your liver, and by making the body's cells more responsive to insulin. It is often the first medicine recommended to treat type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that arises when persistent high blood sugar levels indicate that there is a lack of insulin or there is insulin resistance (to its mechanism of action). Diabetes mellitus is therefore classified into Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 diabetes, due to the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin, is caused by insulin deficiency. This occurs because your body’s defence system mistakes cells in the pancreas as being a threat and attacks them, rendering the pancreas unable to produce insulin. People with Type 1 diabetes usually require the administration of insulin.
Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes (90-95%), is caused by reduced insulin secretion, a resistance to the action of insulin or a combination of both of these factors. The number of people with Type 2 diabetes is thought to be growing as a result of increased: obesity, unhealthy diets and lack of exercise. Patients with this type of diabetes initially have their diabetes managed with diet and exercise. However for those patients requiring antidiabetic drugs to maintain control of their diabetes, there are prescription treatments available.
Doctor Matt prescribes oral (Glucophage, Metformin, Competact) and injectable (Victoza) antidiabetic drugs, subject to a consultation. Managing your diabetes is an integral part of daily life.
It means you take responsibility for your own health and wellbeing with support from those involved in your care. Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and controlling your weight can also help to control your blood sugar levels. It is also important to have regular medical reviews of your diabetes. At least every 12 months we recommend you monitor your diabetes, kidneys and cholesterol along with a blood pressure check.
