some research on metformin

I did some more research over the past week on the background of type 2 diabetes, insulin, metformin, how it works, and other pertinent information. A general overview of how everything functions from an engineer's point of view is that the whole human body is one huge machine and metformin is input into the machine that affects the smaller mechanisms withing the whole system. Essentially, the different types of cells and organs within the body are the smaller mechanisms in the machine, and the metformin is what's keeping the whole machine functioning efficiently. Without the metformin, the body wouldn't be able to maintain a normal level of blood sugar, insulin production, and blood pressure level, leading to cardiovascular disease, obesity, and many others. Eventually, this will lead to death and thus the machine stops functioning.
