Background: Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, has a higher affinity for AT1 receptors. It has also been recognized as partial agonist of the nuclear hormone receptor PPAR-gamma. The present study is conducted to study the effect of Telmisartan in hypertensive patients with impaired fasting glycaemia.Methods: This is a prospective and randomised study done on 50 hypertensive patients with impaired fasting glycaemia. All the patients underwent following investigations like Fasting plasma glucose, blood pressure and body mass index were also measured.Results: Fasting plasma glucose, blood pressure (SBP, DBP) showed significant decrease after intake of 40 mg Telmisartan for three months. Changes in BMI are not significant.Conclusions: The present study shows that Telmisartan is effective in controlling blood-pressure by its AT1 receptor blocking activity. It is also effective in decreasing fasting blood glucose by its insulin sensitizing activity through partial peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) gamma activity.
