Glitazones

Glitazones, also known as thiazolidinediones, are a class of medications used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping the body's cells respond better to insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels. They work by activating specific receptors called PPAR gamma, improving the way the body uses and stores glucose and fats. This can help manage blood sugar more effectively, especially in combination with other treatments. However, glitazones may have side effects, such as weight gain, fluid retention, and other health considerations, so their use is carefully monitored by healthcare providers.
