Abstract
This study assessed incidence of impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adults in one region of Scotland using routinely collected health-care data. Incidence of IGR was 2720 per 100,000 person years. Nine percent of IGR patients progressed to T2D in a mean time of 34 months.
