Metformin is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels.

Metformin is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Metformin is sometimes used together with insulin or other medications, but it is not for treating type 1 diabetes.
