Impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) is a pre-diabetic state of dysglycemia, associated with insulin resistance and increased risk cardiovascular pathology, although of lesser risk than Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). IFG may precede Diabetes mellitus type 2 by many years. IFG is also a risk factor for mortality.[1]

It is characterised by an intermediately raised fasting glucose level, but less than would qualify for Diabetes mellitus type 2. On challenging with an oral glucose tolerance test, normal blood glucose levels are maintained after 2 hours, unlike IGT.
