Hi Renee,
Avandia (like Metformin (Glucophage) and Actos) are insulin sensitizers.
They help our insulin to work correctly. I'm surprised you haven't
heard of it. It's ALWAYS talked about on these boards; not as much as
Met, but it is always a discussion. Sometimes searching the posts can
give you some more insight on things you weren't familiar with. That's
how we all get so much info. Hope this helps.
