Overview
Diabetes is a common condition which affects the body’s ability to control sugar.
There are currently around 3.9 million people in the UK who have diabetes. Diabetes is a long-term condition, and is split in to two subtypes; Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 is the most common, and affects around 90% of those who have diabetes. This type of diabetes occurs when he body doesn’t produce enough insulin to regulate blood glucose levels.
The main treatment for Type 2 diabetes is Metformin. Metformin works by reducing the glucose that your liver releases into the bloodstream. In addition to this main mode of action, Metformin also makes your body’s cells more responsive to insulin.
