Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors for people with impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting blood glucose.
BACKGROUND Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) reduce blood glucose levels and may thus prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. These possible effects, and the effects on quality of life, plasma lipids and body weight, have never been investigated in a systematic literature review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of al...

متن کاملImpaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose and cardiovascular risk.
To the Editor: Tamita et al reported that abnormal glucose tolerance in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major risk factor for future cardiovascular events and might critically distinguish high-risk individuals.1 The cardiovascular event-free survival rate in the impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group and the group with newly diagnosed diabetes were 73% and 67%, respectively...
