The LancetEffect of intensive blood-glucose control with metformin on complications in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes (UKPDS 34)
8,213 Citations1998
Since intensive glucose control with metformin appears to decrease the risk of diabetes-related endpoints in overweight diabetic patients, and is associated with less weight gain and fewer hypoglycaemic attacks than are insulin and sulphonylureas, it may be the first-line pharmacological therapy of choice in these patients.
