Introduction: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) often progresses to type 2 diabetes. Primary prevention is paramount given increasing rates of type 2 diabetes. Methods: A subset analysis of young American Indian women with IFG at baseline (n=42) from a larger lifestyles intervention study designed to reduce risks for type 2 diabetes in 200 volunteers of any risk level. Two hundred American Indian women without diabetes aged 18-40 were recruited from the general urban community without regard to body weight or IFG and randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Clinical metabolic, dietary, physical activity, fitness and body composition measures were taken at baseline and periodic follow-up through 18-months from 2002-2006. American Indian facilitators delivered a group discussion-format culturally influenced intervention on healthy eating, physical activity, social support and goal setting. Results: Among the 42 women with IFG, mean fasting blood glucose (FBG) significantly decreased over time (PIntroduction: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) often progresses to type 2 diabetes.
