re- Glucophage (Metformin) ... at least it has the admirable effect of increasing insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing insulin levels overall. Unlike Glyburide and other sulfonurea drugs, which stimulate the pancreas to pump out more insulin ... with all its fat-storing/inhibition of fat-burning effects.

Glucophage coupled with a low-carb diet is the way to go for uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes, IMHO. Of course, I'm not a doctor or public healthologist
