In impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), the levels of blood glucose are between normal and diabetic. People with IGT do not have diabetes. Each year, only 1-5% of people whose test results show IGT actually develop diabetes. And with retesting, as many as half of the people with IGT have normal oral glucose tolerance test results. Weight loss and exercise may help people with IGT return their glucose levels to normal. With diet and exercise as many as 60% will not developed diabetes or it will be considerably slowed in its development.
Reaction rates, temperature and catalysis. 1  As learned in previous modules, the rate of a reaction is increased by using a catalyst or increasing the temperature. 2  The effect of using a catalyst and increasing the temperature can be explained using the collision theory. The collision theory of reactions. The basic principle of the collision theory is that chemicals react when their particles collide with a certain minimum energy.
In injection molding, for example, molding conditions have a significant influence on the final properties of the material regardless of the part design. Two of the process conditions that have a substantial influence on the behavior of the polymer are the melt temperature and mold temperature.First, it is important to distinguish between these process conditions and the setpoints that we use to exercise control over them.wo of the process conditions that have a substantial influence on the behavior of the polymer are the melt temperature and mold temperature.
