Postprandial Blood Glucose test is performed to measure the level of glucose in the blood and used as a screening test for prediabetes and type 1 and 2 diabetes. The test is done after a period of 2 hours from the start of the last meal so as to check how the body responds to sugar and starch post your meal. This test is recommended if you have signs or symptoms of diabetes such as sudden weight loss, excessive thirst, hunger and urine frequency. It is also used to monitor glucose levels in diabetics for assessing kidney health status and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment process.
Glucose fasting refers to the measurement of blood glucose levels after an overnight fast, usually for a minimum of 8 hours. This test provides information about the baseline blood sugar levels in the body before any food intake. In a healthy individual, the fasting blood glucose level is typically between 70 and 99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter).
On the other hand, PP 2-hour refers to the measurement of blood glucose levels 2 hours after consuming a meal. This test assesses how the body responds to and manages glucose levels after ingestion. In a non-diabetic person, the blood glucose level should return to normal or near-normal range within 2 hours after a meal. A PP 2-hour blood glucose level of less than 140 mg/dL is generally considered normal.
Both fasting and PP 2-hour measurements are important for diagnosing and managing diabetes. Elevated fasting blood glucose levels, typically above 126 mg/dL, can indicate impaired fasting glucose or diabetes. Similarly, a PP 2-hour blood glucose level above 200 mg/dL suggests impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes.
Interpretation of these measurements should be done in consultation with a healthcare professional, as individual circumstances and medical conditions can impact the results. These tests, along with other diagnostic criteria, help determine appropriate treatment plans, including lifestyle changes, medication, and monitoring, to manage blood glucose levels effectively.
