    Biguanides are classified as peripheral insulin sensitizers that work by decreasing hepatic glucose production and absorption from food. They are available as liquids, tablets, and extended-release tablets taken one to three times daily with meals depending on the formulation. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal distress like diarrhea, cramps, nausea and vomiting. Nursing considerations include monitoring blood glucose, laboratory tests, and symptoms to evaluate effectiveness, glycemic control, and potential toxicity.
