Abstract: Objective: Pre-diabetes is defined as either impaired fasting glucose ((IFG) between 5.6 and 6.9mmol/l) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) wherein fasting or post-prandial plasma glucose levels are above normal levels, but below that of clinical Type-2-Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Both IFG and IGT, risk factors for T2DM and macrovascular diseases, have previously been linked with inflammation. With this in mind, we sought to comparatively evaluate the levels of inflammatory markers in pre-diabetics relative to normal healthy individuals.
