11 The significance of glucose concentrations as a risk factor for chronic disease. Plasma glucose concentrations above the diabetic cut off are associated with an increasing risk of cardiovascular and microvascular disease; levels above the IGT cut off are associated with an increasing risk of diabetes; and elevated levels above some, s as yet undefined, "dysglycaemic"" cut off are associated with an increasing risk of cardiovascular disease.
