Question

Type 2 diabetes is a major health problem world-wide, and may be caused by obesity in many individuals. Type 2 diabetics produce plenty of insulin, but the muscle and fat cells are not responsive to the insulin (i.e. insulin cannot get glucose to enter the cells). TZD is a drug that is used for treating Type 2 diabetes. TZD increases the action of insulin and will lower blood glucose to normal levels by helping insulin to “push” glucose into either the muscle and/or fat cells. Recent research suggests that TZD should only be given to diabetics who exercise. Explain in detail why TZD should only be given to exercising diabetics.
