Common Questions and Answers about Impaired glucose tolerance pre-diabetes

Hi Terry! You pose a great question. Unfortunately, only a physician can give you an accurate diagnosis of being pre-diabetic or diabetic, and since I am not one, I cannot answer that question for you. What I can do is give you my opinion on what you have told me and share what I do know with you. First of all, I would make an appointment for a complete physical with my physician and explain these symptoms.
ve searched extensively lol) but impaired glucose intolerance is another term for pre diabetes as I mentioned.
Hyperthyroidism induces glucose intolerance by lowering both insulin secretion and peripheral insulin sensitivity - J Med Assoc Thai. 2006 Nov;89 Suppl 5:S133-40....
"The prevalence of glucose intolerance in hyperthyroid state was 39.4% [impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) 31.5% and diabetes mellitus (DM) 7.9%]. This was significantly higher than that of 30.7% [IGT 19.2% and DM 11.
I went back to the doctor who found my numbers had not improved but worsened after a year and told me I had impaired glucose tolerance and that I had to keep on taking 500mg metformin. She didn´t understand why my numbers didn´t improve, since I had lost 40lbs and didn´t have family history of diabetes.
Another important thing to mention, is that I have been weaning from the cymbalta (antidepressant).
but not high enough to make the diagnosis of diabetes. The tests used to make this diagnosis are blood glucose test and a glucose tolerance test. Has your doctor done either of these? There are no real symptoms of pre diabetes. The symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, thirst, blurred vision, numbness/tingling in the distal extremities, fatigue, slowed healing of cuts, and frequent infections.
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition frequently found with diabetes.
161. I was diagnosed with Impaired Glucose tolerance, and to my research that means pre-diabetes. I bought a store brand glucose meter and tested on several occasions, to which my highest reading was 210 after meals, and 59 fasting. My maternal grandmother is the only known person in our family to have diabetes (type II). I carry glucose tablets if I feel low, and have eliminated all sugars except for some carbohydrates, in fear of losing weight.
Hello~It would not be a bad idea. A lot of doctors are now just taking a blood sample for a test called A1C. The A1C test is a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes and then to gauge how well you're managing your diabetes. The A1C test goes by many other names, including glycated hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C and HbA1c.
The A1C test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months.
test you mean HA1C, since you refer to it as a three month average. An A1C of 6.2 is considered diabetes, not pre-diabetes (anything over 6.0). Your fasting numbers are still within the range of pre-diabetes (100-125), but the A1C is now considered the best diagnostic tool. So given that, what should you do differently? You are on the right track with losing the extra weight.
The most common cause of small fibre peripheral neuropathy listed is diabetes or glucose intolerance.
I have permanent nerve damage from B12 deficiency and insulin resistance/impaired glucose tolerance. I've never had abnormal fasting glucose levels but my glucose went too high however after I drank a glass of glucose (2 hour oral glucose tolerance test - OGTT) which showed I had impaired glucose tolerance.
I'm a 53 year old woman who just had a 3 hour glucose tolerance test, here are my results:
Fasting - 106
1 hour - 210
2 hour - 230
3 hour - 167
I'm not sure if these results mean I'm a pre-diabetic or diabetic. Thank you for your help in advance.
Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dl are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes. These levels are considered to be risk factors for type 2 diabetes and its complications.
Diabetes is typically diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are 126 mg/dl or higher.
Note: mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter"
Weight control and diet play a large, large part in controlling diabetes. For reading on diabetes control go here http://tinyurl.
In diabetes by the time you get symptoms you are well on the diabetes road. The ONLY way to tell is with a blood test.
Once you progress for pre-diabetes, why is diabetes not reversible as pre-diabetes is? Does that mean once your diagnosed with diabetes your blood sugar can no longer return to normal and you can't "cure" diabetes? How long does it take to progress? I was a 6.3 the last time I checked which was 2 years ago and I am worried. Please help!
If your fasting glucose level is 100 to 125 mg/dL, you have a form of pre-diabetes called impaired fasting glucose (IFG), meaning that you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes but do not have it yet. A level of 126 mg/dL or above means that you have diabetes. You can get this under control by carefully monitoring your nutrition along with doing moderate exercise. There is no cure for diabetes. Once you're a full blown diabetic you're one for life.
There definitely is a link between chronic HCV and type 2 Diabetes.
You say you have severe problems with hypoglycemia. Have you been diagnosed by your physician with type 2 Diabetes? If you score a 126 or above on a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test, confirmed by repeating the test on separate days, you've got Diabetes.
I've had HCV for 34 years, and before I even knew that I had the virus, my fasting glucose was impaired.
Hello, I am a 46-year-old white male, 152 lbs., 6' 0". I exercise and lift weights daily. All of my other health indicators are excelent. My endocrinologist has just diagnosed me as being pre-diabetic based on results of the oral glucose tolerance test. However, I've been unable to find online where a high one-hour blood sugar value has been the basis for diagnosis. I know that the OGTT two-hour level that is the cutoff for diabetes diagnosis is 200.
