Pioglitazone

Pioglitazone is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. It helps the body use insulin more effectively, lowering blood sugar levels. By increasing the sensitivity of cells to insulin, it aids in controlling diabetes and reducing the risk of complications. Pioglitazone is usually taken as a pill and can be part of a broader treatment plan that includes diet and exercise. Like all medications, it can have side effects and isn't suitable for everyone, so it's important to discuss with a healthcare provider to determine if it’s the right choice for you.
