Metformin to Keep You Healthy and Sugar Free

Diabetes is one of the most common lifestyle diseases. There are two main forms of diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Of these, type 2 diabetes is more common and generally caused due to lifestyle factors.

As opposed to the popularly held belief type 2 diabetes is not simply caused due to eating more sugar but due to a complex mix of certain life style factors such as high stress, lack of physical activity, diet high in cholesterol etc.




High Blood Sugar Level

 

As a result of these above mentioned factors, the cells of the body become insensitive to the effect of insulin present in the blood resulting in abnormally high levels of sugar floating in the blood. Sometimes, rather than the cells becoming insensitive to the action of insulin in the blood, the liver itself either stops producing or produces too little insulin for the metabolism of sugar in the body.

Diabetes mellitus thus no matter what the cause results in high blood sugar levels which can prove to be dangerous for the overall health of the body and if left untreated can result in more complicated and serious conditions of the body like heart disease, stroke, kidney failure etc.

Metformin is a type 2 diabetes treatment medicine that is especially formulated to keep the blood sugar levels in check in type diabetes patients. Metformin works by making the cells of the body more active or responsive to the action of insulin present in the blood. Apart from this metformin also induces the liver to produce more insulin for the proper sugar metabolism in the body.

Metformin diet is well known to control sugar cravings and aid weight loss along with reducing blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetic patients. Metformin thus proves to be extremely effective medicine for not just overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes but also people suffering from heart disease, hypertension and insulin resistance.
