Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor used widely for years for high blood pressure or heart disease, appears to be the first drug ever to prevent diabetes. In a large study just published, Ramipril reduced the rate of diabetes by 30% in patients participating in research because of their high risk for heart disease. It was also found to reduce the risk of death from heart disease by 20% as well as death rates from stroke by 30%.
