Impaired Glucose Tolerance
Also written as IGT.
Definitions\nDiabetes mellitus is either insulin dependent (IDDM) or Non insulin dependent\ndiabetes mellitus (NIDDM; maturity onset diabetes mellitus).\nFasting plasma glucose 2hours post_prandial\n• Diabetes mellitus > 126 >200\n• Impaired glucose tolerance 110-125 140-200

- 2‑hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT): Glucose handling after load — ≥11.1 mmol/L = diabetes; 7.8‑11.0 mmol/L = impaired glucose tolerance (Diabetes mellitus)

- The incidence of DKA at presentation inversely\n– Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) if blood sugar 2 hours after correlates with the incidence of T1DM in that population and\noral glucose load of 7.8–11 mmol/L ranges from 15 to 70%.
