Is pre-diabetes the same disorder as Impaired Glucose Intolerance?
Answer 2. Yes. Physicians refer to the medical terms Impaired Glucose Intolerance and pre-diabetes interchangeably. Question 3. How do I know that I have pre-diabetes? Answer 3. Physicians test for diabetes using either the Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG) or the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) to detect pre-diabetes. Both tests require the patient to fast the night before the test. In the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, the person’s glucose is tested after fasting and for a second time after consuming a glucose-rich beverage.
