What is a Glucose - Post Prandial (PP) Test in Amritsar ?
What is Glucose - Post Prandial (PP)?
This test measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood after you eat. It is usually done about two hours after a meal. India has the world's second-largest absolute diabetes burden, and the majority of cases remain undiagnosed for years before detection, a gap that regular testing directly addresses.
What does Glucose - Post Prandial (PP) measure?
Glucose provides energy for cells and is controlled by insulin and other hormones. Measuring post‑prandial glucose helps detect high sugar levels that might not show up in a fasting test. Doctors use it to diagnose or monitor diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. It also shows how well medicines or diet are keeping blood sugar under control.
What symptoms suggest Glucose - Post Prandial (PP) may be needed?
Glucose - Post Prandial (PP) is generally requested as part of a blood sugar assessment.
