Glucophage is a biguanide-type medicine used along with a diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. Glucophage works by helping restore your body's proper response to the insulin you naturally produce, and by decreasing the amount of sugar that your liver makes and that your stomach/intestines absorb. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent heart disease, strokes, kidney disease, blindness, circulation problems, and sexual function problems. Glucophage may be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
