Geneva, Switzerland, November 14, 2011 – Merck Serono, a division of Merck KGaA,
Darmstadt, Germany, today announces that the company is participating in World
Diabetes Day (WDD), a global awareness campaign initiated by the International
Diabetes Federation (IDF), taking place every year on 14 November3. Responding to
the call of the IDF to shine a blue light on buildings, Merck Serono will light up its
Geneva headquarters in blue4, helping the diabetes community to put diabetes in the
spotlight. During WDD the company will also raise awareness among its employees on
the needs for early detection of the disease and offer free glucose blood screening to
employees at its headquarters in Geneva.
“Prevention and early detection of diabetes remain a necessity to limit the long-term
complications of diabetes. In the countries where Merck Serono has a presence, we
have been actively involved in various local awareness and early detection campaigns,
including educational activities and free screening for patients at risk”, said Belén

proud that metformin is recommended by the IDF as the first-line treatment of choice
for type 2 diabetes2, and that Merck Serono’s Glucophage® continues to be the
worldwide leading brand in volumes of metformin1”, she added.
Merck Serono has a long history in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, the most common
form of diabetes worldwide accounting for at least 90% of all cases of diabetes5. The
company developed metformin in 1957, and started its first commercialization under
the brand name Glucophage® in France. Since 2005, the IDF has recommended
metformin as the treatment of choice for first-line therapy in its first ever evidence-
based Global guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes2. To respond to
patients’ individual needs, the company went on developing new formulations and
presentations of metformin including Glucophage® XR, an extended release
formulation, Glucophage® Powder Formulation in Sachets, and Glucovance®
(metformin and glibenclamide), a fixed-dose combination therapy containing two anti-
hyperglycemic compounds indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The
availability, indications and prescribing information for these prescription only
Type 2 diabetes can remain undetected for many years. The diagnosis is often made
accidentally from associated complications or through an incidental abnormal blood or
urine glucose test. An early detection, physical activity, diet and adequate treatment
can help control the effects of the disease and its long-term complications.

Brussels: International Diabetes Federation, 2005 3 WDD was introduced by the IDF and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1991, in response to concerns over the escalating incidence of diabetes around the world. WDD provides the global diabetes community a powerful platform to voice these concerns through local events organized by the member associations of the IDF and by other diabetes representative organizations such as healthcare professionals.

About Diabetes
Diabetes has reached epidemic proportion in many regions of the world. According to the latest data released by the IDF, global studies demonstrate that the number of people with diabetes has reached 366 million in 20116 with 4 .6 million deaths in 20116. Among adults, it is the leading cause of new cases of blindness, kidney failure, and amputations of feet and legs. A person with diabetes has a shorter life expectancy and has about twice the risk of dying on any given day as a person of similar age without diabetes7. About Glucophage®
Glucophage® (metformin hydrochloride) is a prescription-only medicine indicated for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus particularly in overweight patients when diet and exercise alone have failed. In adults, Glucophage® may be given alone or with oral antidiabetic agents, or with insulin. In children from 10 years old and adolescents, Glucophage® may be given alone or with insulin. A reduction of diabetic complications has been shown in overweight type 2 diabetic adults patients treated with Glucophage® as first-line therapy after diet failure. Contra-indications: Hypersensitivity to metformin or any of the excipients, diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic pre-coma, renal failure or renal dysfunction, acute conditions with potential to alter renal function, acute or chronic disease which may cause tissue hypoxia, hepatic insufficiency, acute alcohol intoxication, alcoholism, lactation. Special warnings and precautions: Lactic acidosis can occur due to metformin accumulation or whenever any condition associated with hypoxia, hepatic insufficiency, or poorly controlled diabetes occurs. Reported cases are primarily in patients with significant renal insufficiency. Initial and periodic monitoring of the renal function should be performed. Suspend therapy in case of surgery and radiologic investigations using intravenous iodinated contrast agents. Avoid in patients with hepatic disease and excessive alcohol intake. When combined with glucocorticoids, beta2 agonists, diuretics, ACE-inhibitors or any medication that may affect renal function (e.g., NSAID), monitor closely renal function and blood glucose level. In children, follow-up of the metformin effect on growth and puberty especially in pre- pubescent children is recommended. Not recommended during pregnancy and lactation. Undesirable effects: Gastro-intestinal disturbances may occur during treatment initiation and resolve spontaneously in most cases; metallic taste, mild erythema, decrease of vitamin B12 absorption and lactic acidosis may also occur.
