medication for type 2 diabetes that increases insulin sensitivity

Pioglitazone, also known by the brand name Actos, is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin, helping to control blood sugar levels. While primarily used for diabetes, it has also been studied for potential benefits in other conditions, including certain types of hair loss like alopecia, due to its anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties.
