    Riomet (metformin) treats type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. Riomet works by decreasing the production of glucose by the liver while also reducing the amount of glucose absorbed by the intestines. Riomet is most effective when used along with following a healthy diet and getting regular exercise.
