I have heard only several facts about its mechanism. It is supposed to decrease the resistance of insulin and at the same time also decreases the risk factors for some cardiovascular disease, which are common for type 2 diabetes patients. Of course there is still that problem regarding the long term consequences, which are unknown for now because this is a fairly new medication.
