Phenformin is mostly used to treat adult non insulin dependent diabetes and some insulin dependent diabetes. The function is to promote the uptake and glycolysis of glucose by muscle cells, reduce the production of glucose by the liver, and have an anti hyperglycemic effect. It can be used in combination with insulin, making it easier to control blood sugar and reducing insulin dosage. For obese diabetes, it can also be used to inhibit appetite and absorb glucose in the intestine to reduce weight.
