Nevertheless, such patients are at increased risk of developing macrovascular and microvascular complications. Type 2 diabetes is a very heterogeneous disorder and there are certainly many different causes of this form of diabetes. However, it is likely that the number of patients placed in this category will decrease in the future as identification of specific pathogenic processes and genetic defects permit better differentiation and a more definitive classification. 2. Most patients with the type 2 process of diabetes are overweight or obese, and obesity itself causes insulin resistance.
IGT and IFG are considered risk factors for diabetes and CVD. In summary, longitudinal data show that IFG and IGT are rather similar to each other in their ability to predict future diabetes and CVD. However, since the populations of 14 Chapter 1 IFG and IGT have limited overlap with each other, undertaking the OGTT to identify those with IGT provides the opportunity to identify a greater proportion of the at-risk population. Normoglycemia The notion underpinning setting a normal category of glucose is that people with values below the upper limit of normal are at no or only “normal” risk of developing diabetes or its micro- and macrovascular complications [5,7,84,89].
