<unk>  is a type of prediabetes, in which a person's blood sugar levels during<unk>  are consistently above the normal range, but below the diagnostic cut-off for a formal diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Together with<unk><unk>  tolerance, it is a sign of insulin resistance. In this manner, it is also one of the conditions associated with metabolic syndrome. Those with<unk>  are at an increased risk of vascular complications of diabetes, though to a lesser extent. The risks are cumulative, with both higher blood<unk>  levels, and the total amount of time it spends elevated, increasing the overall complication rate.<unk>  can eventually progress to type 2 diabetes mellitus without intervention, which typically involves lifestyle modification. Those with<unk>  have a 1.5 fold increased risk of developing clinical diabetes within 10 years, when compared to the general population. Some studies suggest that without lifestyle changes,<unk>  will progress to clinically diagnosable diabetes in just under 3 years, on average.<unk>  is often, though not always, associated with<unk><unk>  tolerance, though it may occur in isolation, with such persons having a normal response to a<unk>  tolerance test.
