What do the terms IFG & IGT stand for and what is their significance?
The plasma glucose levels falling in the IFG (Impaired Fasting Glycemia) and IGT categories are not diabetic, but they are not normal either. These values are pre-diabetic or in other words, the person having these values is more prone to become diabetic. Such persons should take utmost care by regulating their diet and by regular exercise so that their conversion into overt Diabetics is prolonged as much as possible.
