This study published in The American Journal of Medicine analyzes the correlation between normal fasting glucose levels and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Over a follow-up period of 7 years involving 46,578 men and women, the research presents findings that indicate a significant relationship between fasting blood glucose levels and the incidence of diabetes. The results shed light on how even 'normal' glucose levels can influence the long-term risk of type 2 diabetes, underscoring the importance of monitoring blood glucose for preventive health.
