It works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione which further increases body's sensitivity to insulin. Picolinic acid is a nutritional supplement that improves insulin function. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.
