title: [Impaired fasting glucose and postprandial glucose intolerance. The role of immediate family history].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to determine the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and postprandial glucose intolerance (PGI) in individuals with diabetic parent and risk factors for developing DM2.
  
  
  METHODS
  a cross-sectional study among 162 individuals with father or mother with DM2, age from 30 to 35 years with risk factors for developing DM2 was performed. Fasting plasma glucose was done, and a glucose tolerance curve was taken in those who had IFG.
  
  
  RESULTS
  prediabetes was found in 9.8 % (16) [of which 43.8 % (7) presented PGI]; and 90.2 % (146) were normoglycemic. The mean age in patients with IFG and PGI was 33.5 years and in the normoglycemic group was 32.2, t = 8.36, p = 0.004. The mean weight in the IFG and PGI group was 72.58 kg and 69.85 kg in normoglycemic group, t = 1.21 and p = 0.27. Mean BMI, IFG and PGI was 27.78 and in normoglycemic 26.58, t = 5.25, p = 0.02.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  the results suggested that in descents from parents with DM2 with risk factors we must investigate early prediabetes or IFG with fasting plasma glucose.
