Metformin is a prescription medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by decreasing glucose production by the liver, decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose, and improving insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. It is often considered a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes and has been explored for potential longevity benefits.
