Diversity in the risk of type 2 diabetes associated with age, sex, and 1-h post-load plasma glucose levels in the Japanese population with prediabetes

Identifying individuals at high risk of type 2 diabetes is critical for effective intervention strategies and disease prevention [1,2]. Prediabetes described individuals at a high risk of type 2 diabetes [3 –5] and comprises two different types: impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) [6]. Several studies have reported fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level-related differences in the risk of type 2 diabetes in individuals with IFG [7,8]. Consequently, a recent meta-analysis sh owed 1-h post-load plasma glucose (1-h PG) level-related differences in the risk of conversion to type 2 diabetes in individuals with IGT [9].
