The Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) test is a blood test that measures your blood glucose (sugar) level 2 hours after a meal. It helps evaluate how effectively your body processes glucose after eating and assesses the body’s response to insulin. The PPBS test is commonly used along with the Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) test to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
This test is recommended for individuals with symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or blurred vision, as well as for people with known diabetes. The results help doctors determine how well blood sugar is controlled after meals, evaluate the effectiveness of diabetes treatment, and make informed decisions regarding diet, lifestyle changes, or medication. For accurate results, it is important to eat your regular meal before the test and have your blood sample collected exactly 2 hours after eating.
