Objectives:The use of metformin has been studied in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and has been associated with an increase in insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of metformin on insulin resistance in the non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type 2 patients.
Methods:A total of 12 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 1 patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who received metformin for a minimum of 3 months were included in this study. The patients had normal fasting insulin and blood glucose concentrations. Blood samples were drawn before metformin treatment, 2, 4, 6, and 12 months after the metformin therapy. After the metformin therapy, insulin resistance and blood glucose concentrations were measured. The patients were classified as having a hypoglycemic condition, and the results were compared to the control group.
Results:Metformin induced a significant increase in insulin resistance after 12 months of treatment (P<0.001), with a trend towards an improvement in the insulin resistance after the 12 month treatment (P<0.05). However, the insulin resistance was not improved after metformin treatment.
Conclusions:Metformin treatment is an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Metformin is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. In some patients, metformin may be used alone or in combination with insulin. In a single study involving metformin for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there was a significant increase in the mean HbA1c (2.1) compared to the control group, with a trend towards a decrease in the mean HbA1c (2.2) after treatment (P<0.001).Disclosure ofSaxenda®and other related information may involve the use of commercial or non-commercial activities in connection with this study.

Disease
The main disease of the heart is heart failure (HF) and is the most common cause of heart failure in the United States. In the United States, metformin is used in combination with other heart- and exercise-respiratory (ER) drugs to treat HF. The most common types of heart failure are heart failure (HF) and acute ischemic heart failure (AIBF). HF is the most common cause of death in the United States.
The major component of metformin is fibrates. The most common types of heart failure are heart failure and AIBF. In general, metformin can be used alone or in combination with other heart- and exercise-respiratory (ER) drugs to treat HF.
