It is taken in addition to diet, exercise, and other diabetes medications and works by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Effectiveness
How Oseni Affects PatientsPioglitazone helps the body respond better to insulin, making it easier for the body to process glucose. This helps to lower blood glucose levels, insulin levels, and the amount of HbA1c in the body. However, taking pioglitazone can lead to fluid retention, which can worsen congestive heart failure, so it should not be used in patients with heart failure or are at risk of developing it. Additionally, there is evidence that pioglitazone may increase the risk of bladder cancer, so it should not be used in patients with active bladder cancer and should be used with caution in those with
How Oseni works in the bodyPioglitazone helps the body to respond better to insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels. It does this by activating a certain protein in tissues that respond to insulin, like fat, muscle and liver cells. This protein helps to increase the actions of insulin so that it can better control glucose production and use. As a result, pioglitazone can reduce insulin resistance, a condition associated with type 2 diabetes, without causing your body to make more insulin.

Oseni Reviews: What are patients saying about Oseni?
5Patient Review
1/24/2015 I've been trying to get my blood sugar levels under control for years now, and this is the first medication that's actually helped me. I was able to reduce my insulin intake by half within the month of taking this drug, and have seen significant improvements in my quality of life as a result. The only downside is that it's quite expensive.
5Patient Review
10/20/2014 Oseni has helped me a lot by reducing my A1C and fasting sugar levels.
5Patient Review
6/29/2014 My fasting blood glucose dropped significantly within a month of starting this medication, and I didn't have to change my diet or exercise routine at all.
4.7Patient Review
10/14/2014 Oseni has been great for my A1C numbers. I recently saw results of 5.4, which is a significant drop. However, since starting this medication, I've gained 20 pounds. I'm uncertain if it's due to the drug or not, but either way it's an unwanted side effect as I was the same dress size for 10 years prior to taking this medication.
4Patient Review
9/4/2014 I experience cramping about one to two hours after taking the pill, but my blood sugar levels stay around 100.
