Abstract:
[Summary] There is a huge population of adults with pre-diabetes in China ,and the majority of whom are impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) patients. IGT is not only a risk factor for type 2 diabetes ,but is also closely related to diabetic microvascular and macrovascular complications. Preventing or delaying the development of diabetes by intervention on IGT has become imperative. When lifestyle intervention alone cannot achieve the ideal goal of diabetes prevention ,pharmacological intervention should be considered. This review will discuss thepathophysiology of IGT ,and the effectiveness ,safety and pharmacoeconomics of IGT pharmacological intervention.
