Summary
The purpose of this study is to look at how insulin (a hormone that helps the cells get
energy from sugar) in our body affects blood vessels (elasticity in the bigger blood vessels
and blood flow in the smaller blood vessels in the arm) and how Metformin (a drug that makes
you more sensitive to insulin) affects insulin's action on the blood vessels.
