The main goal of type 2 diabetes treatment is to keep your blood glucose levels within the target range. The American Diabetes Association recommends the following blood glucose goals for people with diabetes:

- Before meals: Your premeal blood glucose should be between 90 mg/dL and 130 mg/dL.

- After meals: Your highest postmeal (1 to 2 hours after eating) blood glucose should be less than 180 mg/dL.

Healthy eating and physical activity are always essential to help meet these goals, but despite your best efforts, your blood glucose could end up out of control due to one or more of the following factors:

- Stress or illness

- Change in diet

- Limited physical activity

- Need for medication or adjustment of medication

- Forgetting to take diabetes medication as prescribed

- Natural progression of type 2 diabetes

ACTAZONE, along with healthy eating and physical activity, helps to lower your blood glucose by decreasing insulin resistance and making the body more sensitive to the insulin that it makes. Most people with type 2 diabetes still make some insulin, but usually not enough to overcome insulin resistance and control their blood glucose.

ACTAZONE, along with healthy eating and physical activity, helps your body use the insulin that has already been produced by your pancreas, effectively opening the lock of insulin resistance and allowing the glucose (energy) to pass into your cells.
