What Does IGT Stand For?
IGT stands for Impaired Glucose Tolerance
Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) is a metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels when assessed during an oral glucose tolerance test. It is recognized as a prediabetic state, indicating a decreased ability to process glucose effectively. Individuals with IGT are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Early identification and lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, are essential for managing IGT and preventing disease progression.
