Glucose Intolerance

Glucose intolerance is a condition in which the body cannot properly utilize the sugar glucose, leading to elevated levels of glucose in the blood. It is an important indicator of diabetes and other metabolic conditions, and can be detected from a simple blood test. Glucose intolerance is associated with a number of health risks, such as an increased risk for heart disease and stroke, as well as an increased risk for certain types of cancer. In order to improve glucose intolerance, lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and weight loss are recommended.
