1. A computer implemented method for screening a subject for disorders of glucose metabolism, comprising steps of:

  • measuring a glucose concentration profile using a glucose concentration analyzer, said glucose concentration profile comprising a plurality of blood glucose concentrations from at least after a glucose or meal challenge;

    using a pattern recognition system to generate a screening factor, wherein said screening factor comprises a mathematical representation of at least a plurality of glucose concentrations within said glucose concentration profile, wherein said screening factor is uniquely associated with a state of glucose metabolism disorder, wherein said state of glucose metabolism disorder comprises a chronic condition, wherein said state of glucose metabolism disorder comprises a classification of any of;

    a diabetic condition of diabetes mellitus, anda pre-diabetic condition of diabetes mellitus; and

    classifying the subject into one of said states of glucose metabolism disorder based on evaluation of said screening factor, wherein said screening factor comprises a representation of said glucose concentration profile; and

    outputting said one of said states of glucose metabolism disorder to a display;

    wherein said plurality of blood glucose concentrations comprises a time series.
