A member asked:
Is pre-diabetes the same as impaired glucose tolerance or impaired resting glucose?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Prediabetes is impaired fasting glucose (ifg) or impaired glucose tolerant (igt). Some patient will have ifg but no igt while other will have igt and not ifg. High risk pre-diabetes are patients who have both ifg and igt.
