What is the best strategy for impaired glucose tolerance in nonpregnant adults?
Abstract
The best treatment strategy for impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is lifestyle intervention with a structured weight loss program of diet and exercise (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on high-quality randomized controlled trials [RCTs] for disease-oriented outcomes). Patients with IGT and IFG should be counseled to lose 5% to 7% of their body weight and instructed on moderate intensity physical activity for ~150 minutes per week.
