Typical reduction in [[glycated hemoglobin]] (A1C) values for metformin is 1.5–2.0%
* [[Metformin]] (Glucophage) may be the best choice for patients who also have heart failure, but it should be temporarily discontinued before any radiographic procedure involving intravenous [[iodine|iodinated]] [[radiocontrast|contrast]], as patients are at an increased risk of [[lactic acidosis]].
* [[Phenformin]] (DBI) was used from 1960s through 1980s, but was withdrawn due to lactic acidosis risk.
* [[Buformin]] also was withdrawn due to lactic acidosis risk.
