Oral glucose tolerance test‐based calculation identifies different glucose intolerance phenotypes within the impaired fasting glucose range

摘要

Aims/IntroductionThe conventional oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) cannot detect future diabetics among isolated impaired fasting glucose (is‐IFG) nor normal glucose tolerant (NGT) groups. By analyzing the relationship between fasting (FPG) and 2‐h plasma glucose (2hPG), the present study identifies is‐IFG subjects liable to worsening glucose homeostasis.
