What is BLOOD SUGAR PP?

The Blood Sugar PP (Postprandial) test measures your blood glucose level exactly two hours after you've eaten a meal. It helps assess how your body processes sugar after food intake.

Why is this test important?

This test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, as high postprandial glucose levels can indicate insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. It provides insights into how well your body handles carbohydrates.

How to Prepare

You will need to eat a standard meal before the test and have your blood drawn exactly two hours later. Follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding the meal.
