What is the post prandial blood sugar level?
Post prandial blood sugar level or glucose two hour postprandial is a blood test to check the level of glucose in the blood after 2 hours of eating a meal. After a meal there is usually an increase in the level of glucose in the body because of the sugars that are absorbed by the intestine after eating food. This sugar powers the cells to perform all the necessary functions for life, such as growth and metabolism. In conditions like diabetes, there is a dysregulation in the system for control of blood sugar as it does not respond well to insulin anymore either due to low levels of insulin or insulin resistance. Sometimes there might also be lowering of blood sugar levels.
To check this ability of the body to regulate sugar after a meal, a postprandial blood sugar test is done. This can be helpful in diagnosing type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
