Relative role of insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction in the progression to type 2 diabetes—The Kinmen Study
TL;DR: After adjustment for other possible associative variables, including gender, age, BMI, waist circumference, insulin resistance, and beta-cell dysfunction, Cox's hazard model showed that those individuals with isolated IFG (impaired fasting glucose) and those people with isolated IGT exhibited similar risk of developing diabetes.

Epidemiology of type 2 diabetes in Taiwan.
TL;DR: The results of several studies strongly suggest that a two-step screening strategy, in which only subjects with a fasting plasma glucose level of 5.6-7.8 mmol/l receive the oral glucose tolerance test, may be an effective means of identifying diabetics and persons at high risk for progression to type 2 diabetes and, ultimately, slowing the increase in the prevalence of this disease.
