Sammanfattning
Non-medicinal interventions involving weight loss prevent the development of type 2 diabetes in people with glucose intolerance. Whether medicinal interventions can prevent type 2 diabetes is more controversial, however. In the NAVIGATOR study, published in 2010, it was attempted to prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular incidents with the aid of nateglinide, alternatively valsartan. The authors who participated in the Norwegian branch of the study here discuss the findings in light of previous literature.
