Glucophage (metformin) is commonly prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes and can help improve insulin sensitivity, which is often associated with metabolic resistance. Here’s how it works:

  • Improves Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin helps your body respond better to insulin, reducing insulin resistance.
  • Reduces Glucose Production: It decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
  • Enhances Glucose Uptake: It helps muscles absorb glucose more effectively.

While metformin can improve metabolic resistance, it is not a cure. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are also crucial for long-term improvement. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized treatment plans.
