According to the CDC, over 38 million Americans have diabetes, and about 90–95% of them have type 2 diabetes. A TZD medication, short for thiazolidinedione, is a class of oral drugs prescribed to manage this condition by improving the body's response to insulin.

First approved by the FDA in 1995, the widely-prescribed diabetes medication metformin is a member of the biguanide drug class. This cornerstone oral therapy for type 2 diabetes is recognized for its effectiveness and long-standing use in managing blood glucose levels.
