GLUCOSE (POST PRANDIAL 2 HRS)

The Glucose Post Prandial (PP) 2 Hours test measures your blood sugar level exactly 2 hours after a meal. It helps doctors evaluate how well your body processes sugar and is commonly used to detect diabetes or prediabetes.

This test helps identify abnormal blood sugar spikes after meals, monitor diabetes treatment effectiveness, and assess insulin function. It is an important test for diabetes screening and management.

You may be asked to fast before the test and then eat a meal containing carbohydrates. Your blood sample is collected exactly 2 hours after the meal. Avoid eating anything else or doing strenuous exercise during this waiting period.

A normal post-meal blood sugar level is usually below 140 mg/dL. Levels between 140–199 mg/dL may indicate prediabetes, while levels above 200 mg/dL can suggest diabetes.

People experiencing symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, or those with a family history of diabetes may benefit from this test.
