What is INSULIN PP?
The Insulin PP (Postprandial) test measures your insulin levels at a specific time after you've eaten a meal, typically two hours. This helps evaluate how your body processes glucose and releases insulin in response to food.
Why is this test important?
This test is crucial for diagnosing insulin resistance, prediabetes, or reactive hypoglycemia. It provides insights into your body's ability to manage blood sugar after meals, which is vital for metabolic health.
How to Prepare
You will need to eat a standard meal before this test, and the blood sample will be taken at a specific time after (usually 2 hours). Follow specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
