Impaired Glucose Tolerance: also between a rock and a hard place.

IGT is caused by excessive NEFAs spewing into the blood and/or deficiencies and/or sedentariness.

If nothing is done about it, IGT will progress to full-blown Type 2 Diabetes, which will get worse and worse as per the graphs to the right of the IGT one.
