Meta analysis of 4 observational studies with a total of 10,508 patients showing 25% lower mortality with metformin treatment in type 2 diabetes patients hospitalized for COVID-19.
22 meta analyses show significant improvements with metformin for mortality1-21, hospitalization7,13, progression1, and severity8,9,13.
Currently there are 93 metformin for COVID-19 studies, showing 35% lower mortality [31‑39%], 33% lower ventilation [17‑46%], 17% lower ICU admission [6‑26%], 18% lower hospitalization [11‑23%], and 5% fewer cases [-4‑13%].

Abstract: Diabetes & Metabolism 46 (2020) 423–426 Available online at ScienceDirect www.sciencedirect.com Mini Review Metformin and COVID-19: From cellular mechanisms to reduced mortality A.J. Scheen Division of Diabetes, Nutrition and Metabolic Disorders, CHU Liège, and Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Medicines (CIRM), Liège University, Liège, Belgium A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Article history: Received 8 July 2020 Accepted 12 July 2020 Available online 1 August 2020 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with both poorer clinical outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic and an increased risk of death in such hospitalized patients. While the role of glucose control has been emphasized to improve the prognosis, the impact of different glucose-lowering agents remains largely unknown. Metformin remains the first-line pharmacological choice for the management of hyperglycaemia in T2DM. Because metformin exerts various effects beyond its glucose-lowering action, among which are anti-inflammatory effects, it may be speculated that this biguanide might positively influence the prognosis of patients with T2DM hospitalized for COVID-19. The present concise review summarizes the available data from observational retrospective studies that have shown a reduction in mortality in metformin users compared with non-users, and briefly discusses the potential underlying mechanisms that might perhaps explain this favourable impact. However, given the potential confounders inherently found in observational studies, caution is required before drawing any firm conclusions in the absence of randomized controlled trials.
