Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is one of the metabolic diseases caused by uncontrolled carbohydrate metabolisms in type-2 diabetes mellitus. The study population was selected based on the results of glucose tolerance test (GTT, 75G), IGT was defined between 140-199mg/dl of serum glucose after two hour Oral 75g glucose consumption. The results inferred that the urinary albumin secretion in both samples was significantly found in twenty subjects (20) with IGT with microalbuminuria and 18 patients from this group developed diabetes mellitus within a year follow up period. Moreover, 4 patients with IGT without microalbuminuria also developed diabetes mellitus during the one year study period. According to ADA, IGT patients with albuminuria were at risk of progression to diabetes mellitus than subjects without albuminuria.
