🧪 What is Postprandial Blood Glucose?

Postprandial Blood Glucose measures the level of glucose in the blood after a meal, typically 2 hours after eating. It evaluates how effectively the body manages glucose after food intake.

❓ Why is the Test Done?

To:

Monitor blood sugar control in diabetic patients
Diagnose diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance
Evaluate unexplained symptoms like fatigue or excessive thirst
Assess risk of cardiovascular complications related to glucose spikes

📊 Normal Range

Postprandial Glucose Level	Interpretation
< 140 mg/dL	Normal
140 – 199 mg/dL	Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes)
≥ 200 mg/dL	Diabetes mellitus

📈 Interpretation of Results

Result	Clinical Implication
Normal PPBG	Effective glucose regulation
Impaired PPBG	Increased risk for developing diabetes
High PPBG	Indicates diabetes mellitus
