Patient's question:

My aunt has diabetes. I bought her many medications. Is it okay to take Metformin for diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Metformin is a medication used to treat diabetes. While it helps lower blood sugar levels without easily causing hypoglycemic reactions, it also aids in weight management. It is widely used in clinical diagnosis. However, it is recommended to take the medication under the guidance of a doctor. Blood sugar levels need to be monitored, and the dosage of metformin should be adjusted based on the blood sugar levels. In addition to medication control, diet control is essential, and a low-sugar diet should be followed.
