• Decreases intestinal absorption: It slows down how much glucose is absorbed from the food you eat, preventing sharp rises in blood sugar after meals.
• Improves insulin sensitivity: Metformin helps your body tissues respond better to insulin, allowing your cells to take in glucose more effectively.
• Enhances glucose uptake: It increases the ability of your muscle cells to remove glucose from your bloodstream, helping to lower blood sugar levels.
