A new report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine has revealed that metformin is the best oral medicine available for the treatment of Type II diabetes.

Apart from metformin, researchers also looked at the effects of sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides, DPP-4 inhibitors, and GLP-1 receptor agonists in 166 different studies.
“Although the long-term benefits and harms of diabetes medications remains unclear, the evidence supports the use of metformin as a first-line agent”, lead researcher Wendy Bennett said.
