Metformin increases the sensitivity of insulin.
More information:-
Metformin is a drug used for the treatment of type-2 diabetes, especially obese people. It is not associated with weight gain.
This actually decreases the sugar level in blood of diabetic people. It does this by lowering the amount of sugar produced in the liver, and also increasing the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin.
