AN OVERVIEW
About post prandial blood sugar test
Why is the post prandial blood sugar test done?
The postprandial blood sugar test can be done if you experience symptoms such as an increased thirst and hunger, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, tingling in your hands or feet, etc.
What does the post prandial blood sugar test measure?
The glucose postprandial blood (PPBG) test is used for examining glucose levels in the blood two hours after consuming food. The PPBG test is often used with a fasting blood glucose test.
There is an increase in the blood sugar levels after we consume a meal. Both insulin and glucagon collaborate to maintain the blood glucose levels in a healthy limit. An imbalance in their activity might lead to high or low blood sugar levels.
The postprandial blood sugar lets us know whether the body is efficiently using and storing the glucose or not. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the insulin is not produced or is produced in insufficient amounts. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the insulin is not properly utilized by the body or when the insulin is produced in insufficient amounts. Both these types of diabetes increase our blood sugar levels.
Risks/side effects of the post prandial blood sugar test
There are usually no side effects or risks associated with a postprandial blood sugar test. However, you might feel some pain for a few days in the area from where the blood will be taken using a needle. You can cover the same area with a band aid to prevent infections from developing.

An elevated postprandial blood sugar level might indicate diabetes. The test results depend on several factors, including your age, gender, health history, etc.
Pancreatic cancer, overactive thyroid gland, pancreatitis, stress, trauma, stroke, heart attack, surgery, acromegaly, glucagonoma, Cushing’s syndrome, etc, are some of the reasons for high blood sugar levels.
Pituitary gland disorders, such as hypopituitarism, and other factors, including eating less, utilizing excessive insulin or diabetic medications, having liver or kidney disease or an underactive adrenal or thyroid gland or pancreas tumor, doing excessive exercise, losing weight after surgery, etc, are the reasons for low blood glucose levels.
