Pre-diabetes is often called Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) or Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG). It is the stage leading to type 2 diabetes. It occurs when the blood glucose level is higher than normal, but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

People with pre diabetes have a 1 in 3 chance of developing type 2 diabetes within 5-10 years, but this can be prevented or delayed through healthy eating and physical activity. Come and join our diabetes educators and dietition to learn how you can manage pre diabetes.
