Fats like carbs or proteins can be good/bad/dangerous.. Just like carbs from green veggies and protein from eggs/meat/dairy/veggie are great in that order..so also fats from health sources.. A diet high in fat..where fat is from vegetable oil...or anything high in PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acids) can be damaging. Good sources of fat would be coconut oil, ghee,butter, healthy nuts (walnuts/almonds), almost anything naturally occurring and not processed or minimally processed. Dietary fat does not have a direct correlation to heart health. Body fat/ overweight/obesity does and thats a direct coorelation of risk.
Composition of Riomet OD 500 mg (brand name) is Metformin (generic name).
Metformin is used alone or with other medications, including insulin, to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Metformin is in a class of drugs called biguanides. Metformin helps to control the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. It decreases the amount of glucose you absorb from your food and the amount of glucose made by your liver. Metformin also increases your body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood.
