Question: what is the difference between glucose intolerance and prediabetes?
Answer: People with diabetes may need pills and/or insulin to manage their blood glucose levels. Prediabetes is when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes is the same as impaired glucose intolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG).
