POST LUNCH BLOOD SUGAR

The Postprandial Glucose Test, or PPBS, stands as a pivotal diagnostic tool provided by Hypro Diagnostics, gauging the glucose levels in the blood to assess the concentration of sugar, specifically glucose, post-meal. This test is particularly insightful in discerning how the body processes carbohydrates, the primary sources of glucose and a fundamental energy reservoir in the body. Following a meal, blood glucose levels naturally experience a slight increase, orchestrated by the pancreas releasing insulin—an essential hormone for removing glucose from the bloodstream and storing it as energy. However, individuals managing diabetes encounter challenges in responding effectively to insulin, leading to sustained elevated glucose levels. This prolonged hyperglycemia poses a significant risk, potentially resulting in complications such as damage to the eyes, nerves, kidneys, and blood vessels. The PPBS offered by Hypro Diagnostics emerges as an indispensable diagnostic measure, providing valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of glucose metabolism. It serves as a crucial tool for managing and mitigating the impact of diabetes-related complications through informed decision-making and proactive health management.
