    Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione taken orally once daily to treat type 2 diabetes as an adjunct to diet. It works by increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing hepatic glucose output. Common side effects include edema, headache, upper respiratory infections, and hypoglycemia when taken with other antidiabetics. Nurses should monitor patients for signs of congestive heart failure, liver problems, hypoglycemia, and weight gain while on pioglitazone.
