What is glucose intolerance? what are its symptoms? Does diabetes mean the same? Can I avoid after diagnosed?

I am having increasing waistline (35), blood pressure (130 - 140), high triglycerides(450), high cholestrol(268) and digestion disorder (more gas generation with any food intake). Are these symptoms of glucose intolerance or diabetes ? I am only 28yrs old. What is the causes ? Can I be able to minimize these by workouts to reduce my waist ? Please help me...

Impaired glucose tolerance or metabollic syndrome is not diabetes but can be a hallmark for someone on the path to developing this condition. There are five conditions that would lead a physician to believe that you have this condition. One need only have three of the five for the diagnosis. Triple digit fasting blood sugars (100mg/dl or above); your waist circumference would be a qualifier if you are a woman, however the best measure is hip to waist ratio. Your elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides may indicate the IGT as well. Since your trigs were higher than 300 it would be hard for you to determine your HDL but my guess is that it is low.

A workout regimen that builds lean muscle mass (lifting as opposed to cardio) would be most beneficial. Work your core muscle groups, because they are larger they will help by a)burning more fuel (triglycerides) b) increase your body's ability to get rid of harmful cholesterol sub-fractions (VLDL, LDL-3) by increasing HDL.

Control your refined sugar intake--hard this time of year. Complex carbs, fat, protein in proper measure will help you stave off developing full-blown diabetes. Source(s): Pfizer-training

Doesn't sound like glucose intolerance. My brother was just diagnosed with it, and they said that people often lose weight. I can't tell you what else it would be though! I would say go to the doctor just in case it is something! better safe than sorry
Not enough info. If you're not sure, get a glucose tolerance test (GTT) and a hemoglobin A1C test. Yes, it can be avoided, just follow the plan I did, and you can avoid it forever...

those are not direct signs of glucose intolerance, this disturbancy doesn't even produce symptoms, it's detected through an OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test)- blood glucose is measured before and 2 hours after eating 75 grams of glucose.
What you do have is metabolic syndrome,and this puts you at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Ofcourse you can prevent it, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are the best measures.
Pharmacological treatment may be needed if the cholesterol and triglycerides don't improve significantly after 3 months.
good luck
and Happy Christmas
