Multidimensional effects of metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes

In modern algorithms for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, metformin is positioned as a first-line drug, which, when the disease progresses, is universally combined with other groups of hypoglycemic drugs, including insulin. Review of literature demonstrates the multifaceted effects of metformin wit...

description In modern algorithms for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, metformin is positioned as a first-line drug, which, when the disease progresses, is universally combined with other groups of hypoglycemic drugs, including insulin.
