1. Elevated fasting blood glucose levels above the normal reference range but not meeting the criteria for diabetes mellitus

2. Abnormal results on oral glucose tolerance testing, with glucose values higher than normal but below the threshold for diabetes diagnosis

3. Impaired glucose tolerance identified during routine screening or follow-up

4. Impaired fasting glucose detected on laboratory testing

5. Absence of classic symptoms of diabetes such as polyuria, polydipsia, and unexplained weight loss

6. No evidence of overt diabetes complications or acute metabolic decompensation

7. Laboratory findings indicating hyperglycemia that do not fulfill the diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus
