Metformin ER is a biguanide. It lowers the amount of sugar that your liver makes, as well as lowers the amount of sugar absorbed through the intestines. In addition, it also makes your body more sensitive to insulin. This means your cells are better able to take up sugar from the bloodstream and use it as energy.
