The prevalence of impaired fasting glucose did not differ significantly between adolescents and adults, either in male or female.

Impact of periodic follow-up testing among urban American Indian women with impaired fasting glucose.

The risk of progression to diabetes and development of cardiovascular disease is greater than for impaired fasting glucose.

Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dl are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes.

Forgot the difference between impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance?

Recent evidence suggests that, similar to diabetes mellitus, individuals with impaired fasting glucose have higher degree of periodontal inflammation.

Associations between body mass index, cardiorespiratory fitness, metabolic syndrome, and impaired fasting glucose in young, urban American Indian women.

From 10 to 15 percent of adults in the United States have impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose.

Prediabetes may be called impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose, depending on the test used to diagnose it.

Adolescents with BMI exceeding the 85 thpercentile are at increased risk of being classified as having diabetes or impaired fasting glucose.

The prevalence of impaired fasting glucose is already significant at Tanner stage 1 with percentage prevalence of 11.1% and 44.1% for overweight and obese subjects respectively.

Table 3shows that the sensitivity and specificity to predict impaired fasting glucose at Tanner stages III and above were at least 60% and 80%, respectively.

Clinical studies have shown that tagatose significantly reduces blood glucose levels among healthy, prediabetic, impaired fasting glucose, and impaired glucose tolerance subjects.

Some patients with impaired fasting glucose can also be diagnosed with impaired glucose tolerance, but many have normal responses to a glucose tolerance test.

If compensatory insulin secretion fails, then either fasting (impaired fasting glucose) or postprandial (impaired glucose tolerance) glucose concentrations increase.

Impaired fasting glucose is defined as a fasting glucose that is higher than the upper limit of normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes mellitus.

The World Health Organization criteria (1999) require presence of diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose or insulin resistance, AND two of the following:

Prevalence of diabetes, impaired fasting glucose, and impaired glucose tolerance in U.S. adults: The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994.

Table 10presents the sensitivity, specificity and odds ratios for the selected cutoff point for predicting impaired fasting glucose (IFG) values at the 85 thpercentile at 13-15 year old group, at age 35.

World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for impaired fasting glucose differs from the (American Diabetes Association) ADA criteria, because the normal range of glucose is defined differently.

Impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose Prediabetes is characterized by two conditions: impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose.

Individuals with impaired fasting glucose and diabetes mellitus have higher degrees of periodontal inflammation, and often have difficulties with balancing their blood glucose level owing to the constant systemic inflammatory state, caused by the periodontal inflammation.

Impaired fasting glycaemia or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) refers to a condition in which the fasting blood glucose is elevated above what is considered normal levels but is not high enough to be classified as diabetes mellitus.

With use of the cutoff point of the 85 thpercentile we demonstrated that adolescents of Tanner stage III and higher, of both sexes, are at increased risk of having impaired fasting glucose, with odds ratios of 11.7 and higher.

Limited long-term follow-up data suggest that IVF may be associated with an increased incidence of hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, increase in total body fat composition, advancement of bone age, subclinical thyroid disorder, early adulthood clinical depression and binge drinking in the offspring.
