Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a sign of prediabetes, which is defined as having a blood glucose level that is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas occurs in type 1 diabetes, not prediabetes. Cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis can be complications of poorly managed diabetes, but are not specific signs of prediabetes.
