impaired glucose tolerance. Ch.1
Impaired Glucose Tolerance. blood glucose (sugar) levels higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. People with IGT may or may not develop diabetes. Other names (no longer used) for IGT are "borderline," "subclinical," "chemical," or "latent" diabetes
Impaired glucose tolerance. A condition where the beta cells have become exhausted – usually due to insulin resistance – and cannot produce enough insulin. Blood glucose levels will be higher than what is considered normal, but not high enough to diagnosis diabetes. Left untreated, this condition frequently progresses to full blown type 2 diabetes. Can result in diagnosis of prediabetes.
Impaired Glucose Tolerance. Blood sugar levels that are high but still lower than those in diabetes.
Impaired glucose tolerance. Blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but below the level of a person with diabetes.
impaired glucose tolerance. a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but are not high enough to be classified as diabetes; a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
impaired glucose tolerance. a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal but are not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. IGT, also called pre-diabetes, is a level of 140 mg/dL to 199 mg/dL 2 hours after the start of an oral glucose tolerance test. Most people with pre-diabetes are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Other names for IGT that are no longer used are "borderline," "subclinical," "chemical," or "latent" diabetes.
