Abstract: Hypertension will be more serious when it is complicated with glucose metabolic disorder. The incidence rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in hypertensive patients will increase significantly as impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) happens. Because hypertension leads to complications in large and capillary vessels in type 2 diabetes patients, intensive treatment of pressure release is recommended by many guidelines. Screening of glucose metabolic disorder in hypertensive patients should be paid more attention. Both nondrug and pharmacotherapy can make blood pressure and blood glucose return to the standard. This review focuses on prognosis of patients with hypertension complicated with glucose metabolic disorder at home and abroad in recent years.

Key words: hypertension, glucose metabolic disorder, impaired glucose tolerance, prognosis
