Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) contributes to microvascular and macrovascular complications and increased cardiovascular disease risk. Although type 2 diabetes is largely considered to occur as a result of IFG, understanding of physiologic and associated management targets is uniformly lacking among health care professionals. Once definitions are standardized, diagnostic criteria and screening tools may help to identify individuals at risk sooner, thereby minimizing the rapid deterioration that often results. To counter the rising pandemic of obesity and diabetes, it is important to understand the vascular risk of IFG and impaired glucose tolerance in patients at risk.
空腹血糖受损（IFG）可导致微血管和大血管并发症，并增加心血管疾病风险。虽然 2 型糖尿病通常被认为是 IFG 导致的，但医护人员普遍缺乏对其生理和相关管理目标的了解。一旦定义标准化，诊断标准和筛查工具可能有助于更早地识别有风险的个体，从而最大限度地减少通常导致的快速恶化。为了应对肥胖和糖尿病的流行，了解处于危险中的患者的 IFG 和葡萄糖耐量受损的血管风险非常重要。
