Adding the diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) to Type 2 diabetics who were already taking a sulphonylurea DOUBLED the risk of diabetes-related death—a 96% increase—over 10.7 years compared with continued sulphonylurea alone according to a 1998 study. Metformin ALONE was the ONLY diabetes drug to reduce the risk of death.
