General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Glycomet is the trade name for a medication called metformin.

It is one of the more commonly used medications and has been used for a long period of time.

It works by decreasing the body's resistance to its own insulin allowing the insulin to work better.
It also helps with weight loss in some persons.

This medication does not cause low blood sugars, it would help push the blood sugars to normal but not below.

It may be associated with stomach upset, diarrhea or constipation in some persons. These effects may be short term or reduced by taking the slow release form of the medication.

I hope this helps
