Insulin Sensitizer

An insulin sensitizer is a medication that helps the body's cells respond more effectively to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. By improving this response, insulin sensitizers lower blood sugar, particularly in people with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. These medications work by making cells more receptive to insulin, allowing for better glucose uptake from the bloodstream, which helps maintain healthier blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of complications associated with high blood sugar.
