    oral diabetes medication that lowers blood sugar levels

    Metformin, also known by brand names such as Glucophage, is an oral medication commonly used to manage type 2 diabetes. It works by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin, thereby helping to control blood sugar levels. Additionally, metformin is sometimes used off-label for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) due to its effects on insulin resistance.
