A combination of metformin and exercise may actually heighten blood sugar, a new study has revealed.

People with type 2 diabetes, who may be using home care, are often prescribed medication metformin and exercise as ways to lower their blood sugar.

However, a new University of Alberta study found that although the two methods both lower blood sugar separately, when employed together there could be a counterproductive effect.
