📋Overview
This metabolic state serves as an intermediate stage between normal glucose regulation and clinical diabetes, encompassing laboratory findings previously described as impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance. It indicates a shift in how the body processes glucose, though the levels remain below the criteria for a chronic diagnosis.
Individuals identified with this condition may face an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The term is used to describe a specific spectrum of glucose abnormalities that signal a need for clinical monitoring.
