What is the Blood Glucose (PP) in 2 hrs Test?

Two-hour postprandial blood sugar is a diabetic blood test. In diabetes, the body doesn't produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar. High blood sugar levels can cause major health issues such as heart, nerve, kidney, and eye damage.

Postprandial is post-meal. This test measures your body's response to sugar and carbohydrates after a meal. Blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels rise rapidly during digestion. Next, your pancreas releases insulin to help transfer glucose from the blood into muscle and other tissue cells for fuel. Normalize insulin and blood glucose levels within two hours of eating. Diabetes develops when blood glucose levels remain high.

Why Done? 

This test is required if you exhibit signs of diabetes or another insulin-related condition, such as:

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

Even in case of Glucose Tolerance Test, after consuming the liquid given to you, your blood sugar will be measured one, two, and maybe three hours later. Blood sugar levels at two hours are defined as normal if they are 140 mg/dL or less, prediabetes if they are 140 to 199 mg/dL, and diabetes if they are 200 mg/dL or more.

Two-hour postprandial glucose

The Normal values that are seen age group wise are as follows:

  • 0-50 years: < 140 mg/dL or < 7.8 mmol/L (SI units)
  • 50-60 years: < 150 mg/dL
  • 60 years or older: < 160 mg/dL

A blood glucose level that is considered normal is less than 100 mg/dL following an 8-hour fast. Less than 140 mg/dL was measured two hours after eating. Right before a meal is usually when blood sugar levels are at their lowest during the day.

The reason why fasting sugar is greater than PP is because body is able to digest the last meal (post dinner) and then it releases the glucose in bloodstream which gets detected in test for fasting.

The dawn phenomenon leads to high levels of blood sugar, a condition called hyperglycemia. It usually happens between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. The cause of the dawn phenomenon isn't clear. Some researchers believe the overnight release of certain hormones that happens naturally increases insulin resistance.
