Some of the most successful drugs are the result of serendipity, as is the case for metformin, the most widely used drug for type 2 diabetes. Decades ago a researcher in the Philippines studying an obscure compound to treat flu and malaria reported that it also seemed to lower blood sugar. In 1957, a Parisian scientist noticed that published observation and tried the drug in animals. British researchers tried it in diabetics in the 1960s, and it worked surprisingly well. The original compound was discovered as an herbal extract, and to this day scientists don’t understand the biological mechanism. But it doesn’t matter. It works. ~ Page 90
