Can Metformin improve life expectancy in patients with type 2 diabetes? What clinical evidence supports its role in reducing complications and mortality rates associated with diabetes?
1. Metformin is shown to improve life expectancy in type 2 diabetes by reducing complications like heart disease and stroke, supported by large-scale studies like the UKPDS.
2. Clinical evidence from trials such as UKPDS indicates that Metformin not only controls blood glucose but also reduces diabetes-related deaths and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetics.
3. Research, including the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), shows that Metformin decreases mortality and other complications, thereby potentially increasing life expectancy for type 2 diabetes patients.
