How does duetact help treat type 2 diabetes?
Duetact, along with healthy eating and physical activity, works by treating insulin resistance, an important defect of type 2 diabetes. Duetact combines two medications, ACTOS and glimepiride, in one convenient tablet. ACTOS helps your body use insulin more effectively by making your cells more sensitive to insulin. Glimepiride lowers blood sugar levels by helping the pancreas release more insulin. When these two events happen, the sugar in your blood can enter more easily into the cells of your body where it’s needed and lower your blood sugar levels.
