What are insulin sensitizers

Insulin sensitizers are drugs that improve insulin sensitivity.

Insulin sensitizers are mainly used to treat diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes. They reduce blood sugar by increasing the sensitivity of insulin in the body and promoting the full utilization of insulin.

These drugs mainly act on liver, muscle and adipose tissues, reducing glucose output and increasing the utilization rate of glucose in these tissues. Common insulin sensitizers include rosiglitazone (Taro) and pioglitazone.

However, it should be noted that insulin sensitizers may be associated with some adverse reactions, such as respiratory tract infection, abnormal liver function, increased blood volume, weight gain, etc., so patients should be closely monitored when using them.
