Totally different kind of drugs - like comparing apples and elephants

Metformin controls sugar released by your liver which stores and releases sugar at times we are "not eating" (fasting/sleeping/between meals)

Metformin is mostly generic and a months worth can usually be had for 20 to 50 bucks depending where you live

Jardiance works by forcing the kidneys to suck sugar and salt out of the blood but is primarily designed to deal with the sugar that gets into your system from what you ate

It runs about 600'ish bucks a month (full retail)

Metformin is considered a Tier 1 drug - the first one you should be put on

Jardiance is a Tier 2 or 3 drug which is "added" to metformin (or added as a third drug along with metformin and ozempic etc)
