Abstract

For more than half a century, glycemic levels between normal values and those that allow diagnosing diabetes mellitus have received changing names. In this sense, in the late 1950s, Conn and Fajans discussed chemical diabetes and latent diabetes, leaving the term prediabetes for those individuals with normal blood glucose levels but who had a family history and / or some other risk factor for developing diabetes. mellitus. In 1965, the WHO Expert Committee recommended the use of the term “borderline diabetes”, and in 1979 the National Diabetes Data Group5 defined the category of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT or TAG), incorporated one year later in the WHO classification.
