Abstract
If conception marks “the beginning” of the disease, how early in life is the disease trend manifest? Even in those highly predisposed to diabetes on a genetic basis there is a period in life when the “dynamic resistance” is so effective that no abnormalities can be detected with our present capabilities and where diabetes can only be suspected. Jackson (1) called this first stage without abnormalities “suspected prediabetes” The second with detectable abnormalities (but normal carbohydrate metabolism) we recognize as prediabetes.
