Insulin Sensitizers

Insulin sensitizers are medications used primarily to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. They work by making the body's cells more responsive to insulin, a hormone that helps glucose enter cells for energy. When cells are more sensitive to insulin, they can use glucose more effectively, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Common insulin sensitizers include metformin and thiazolidinediones. By improving insulin sensitivity, these treatments can lead to better blood sugar control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
