Title: A Phase II, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-group, Double-Blind, Dose Response Finding Clinical Trial to Study the Efficacy and Safety of MK-0431/ONO-5435 in Japanese Subjects With Impaired Glucose Tolerance Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Diet/Exercise Therapy
Brief Summary: This study is being done to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and dose level of sitagliptin (MK-0431/ONO-5435) used once daily (qd) in Japanese participants with impaired glucose tolerance who have inadequate glycemic control using diet and exercise therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of diabetes mellitus
* Disease or condition of clear or likely glucose tolerance disorder
* Previously treated with a drug to prevent diabetes and/or any antihyperglycemic drug
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes (within 3 years) on diet or IGT
* Fasting triglyceride levels \>140 and \< 400 mg/dl and values varying less than 35% between two screening measurements
* Normal liver function tests and white blood cell count

Exclusion Criteria:

* Type 2 Diabetes for \> 3 years or HbA1c ≥ 7.5
* Known or suspected Type 1 Diabetes
* Any diabetes medications in the past 3 weeks, TZD in the prior 3 months or prior regular use of insulin

* Any lipid lowering therapy in the prior 3 weeks other than a statin medication. Subjects receiving a statin medication must be on a stable dose for at least 2 months prior to participation.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Males age 18-65 years old
2. Patients must have Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 and 40 kg/m2
3. 2-hour glucose concentration above 140mg/dl after 75g glucose load, ie, having impaired glucose tolerance or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
4. Patients must have BMI of 25-40 kg/m2
5. Patients must have no known severe liver or kidney disease, cancer, neurologic, psychiatric or systemic disease, ability to understand the study.
6. Only patients whose body weight has been stable (±3-4 pounds) over the three months prior to study will be included.
7. Patients must have the following laboratory values:

   * Hematocrit ≥ 34 vol%
