    GlossaryInsulin Sensitizers (insulin-sensitizing agents)

    medications that improve the body's response to insulin

    Insulin sensitizers are medications that help the body's cells respond more effectively to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. They are commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes by improving the body's ability to use insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Examples include metformin and thiazolidinediones (TZDs).

      community Do people still use microneedling?

      Microneedling is still considered effective for hair growth, especially when combined with minoxidil, though it is time-consuming. Some users report significant success with consistent use, while others find it less popular due to the effort required compared to topical treatments alone.
