Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of pitavastatin for preventing diabetes in a population with impaired glucose tolerance.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Mellitus Glucose Intolerance Other: life-style intervention Drug: Life style interventions plus concomitant use of pitavastatin. Phase 4

Detailed Description:
Diabetes mellitus and its complications are major health problems globally. People with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are at high risk of developing diabetes. It is therefore important to focus on preventing diabetes in individuals with IGT. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) are widely used for hypercholesterolemia, one of the most frequent metabolic disorders. However, there is no direct evidence to whether statins are beneficial for preventing diabetes. This study is designed to compare the efficacy of life-style modification versus life-style modification with pitavastatin (a statin) administration, in individuals with IGT.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Pitavastatin
Administration of Pitavastatin
 Other: life-style intervention
As the life-style interventions aiming to reduce the major risks of developing diabetes mellitus, instruct the following four items:(1)set diet right, (2)maintain normal weight,(3)improve physical activity,(4)normalize smoking and alcohol drinking.

Drug: Life style interventions plus concomitant use of pitavastatin.
Once-daily dosing of pitavastatin 1 mg(1 tablet of Livalo Tab 1 mg), or 2mg(2 tablets of Livalo Tab 1mg or 1 tablet of Livalo Tab 2mg);Dosing period of pitavastatin should be 60 months.(max.84 months).
