Thiazolidinediones

Full story: Diabetes Self Management

A class of oral diabetes drugs, commonly nicknamed "glitazones." Unlike the traditional oral drugs called sulfonylureas , which lower blood glucose levels by making the pancreas secrete more insulin, the thiazolidinediones work by helping the body's tissues to use insulin more effectively and by suppressing glucose production by the liver.
