"Conclusions: Our study found that in comparison to the standard BP control for hypertensive patients with IFG, intensive BP control was associated with a small increased risk of new-onset T2D, though it did not reach statistical significance. This kind of impact should be considered when implementing the strategy, especially for those with high risks of developing T2D. This trial is registered with NCT01206062. Ethical Approval: This study has been registered at https://www.clinicaltrials.gov, unique identifier: NCT01206062."
