Introduction

Demonstration of the antihyperglycaemic action of metformin Metformin has been in toms of diabetes (together
in 1961.5 The administration of metformin to normoglycaemic subjects, or subjects with well controlled diabetes, induced little change on blood glucose. Hyperglycaemic patients, by contrast, demonstrated a marked reduction in blood glucose after administration of metformin Fasting blood glucose (mmol/L)
