In this 2002 article "The Prevention or Delay of Type 2 Diabetes", the
ADA uses IFG and IGT, but not prediabetes.
But in early 2002 the DPP came out, and during 2002 prediabetes was used
pretty widely, including in articles/lettters by Venkat, Mike, Frank.
Don't know when the first use was (possibly much earlier) or who coined
the term.
By 2003, the ADA was using "pre-diabetes" in its clinical practice
guidelines.
The 2002 or 2003 web-only position statement on prediabetes seems to
have disappeared, as you mentioned. Might have a print out somewhere.
In any case, you can say that the term prediabetes, meaning IFG or IGT,
came into wider use in 2002 after release of DPP results.
