- impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)
-
IGT is a category of higher than normal blood glucose, but below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes, after ingesting a standard amount of glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test. For a full definition see the WHO diagnostic criteria (www.who.int/diabetes). People with IGT are at increased risk of developing diabetes.
