Metformin (medical preparation) has a similar effect on glycosylated hemoglobin to the sulphonylureas, but in contrast is relatively insuling sparing whilst being at worst weight neutral.

Explanation:
(коряво получилось, но я хотел выразить смысл)

...в отличие от производных сульфонилмочевины, метформин обычно не требует комбинации с инсулином и никогда не вызывает прибавки массы тела (если дословно: в худшем случае масса тела остается неизменной)
