Glucose Post Prandial Test in Bangalore

Diabetes is a chronic disease when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin or the body fails to use the insulin it produces. This leads to hyperglycemia, which occurs due to an augmented concentration of glucose in the blood.

With the increasing trends of diabetes prevalence, it has become the need of the hour to know and implement effective methods to prevent, control, and manage diabetes. Regularly testing blood glucose levels plays an integral part in diabetes management. Testing the blood glucose before and after a meal helps to check the effects of a meal on your blood glucose levels and helps to understand which meals are best to control your blood glucose. Both in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, the blood glucose levels witness their peak around two hours after a meal. 

Why do I need a postprandial blood sugar test?

To understand the impact of blood sugar levels, it is imperative to test before and after meals. The before and after testing of blood sugar levels is also known as ‘Pre-prandial and Post-prandial’ testing. With Redcliffe Labs, you can easily book a postprandial blood sugar test in Bangalore from the comfort of your home and get test results. 

Importance of pre and postprandial testing 

Testing of blood glucose levels only before or after meals doesn’t help understand how meals affect your diabetic levels. 

Pre and postprandial testing are sometimes also known as testing in ‘pairs,’ which helps a patient check and understand how much sugar levels have risen or decreased between meals.

If your blood glucose levels tend to rise to high numbers after meals. In that case, it can leave you tired and increase your likelihood of developing complications, so there are good reasons for testing before and after meals.

By looking at the test results and readings, you can quickly re-evaluate your dietary habits by discussing the readings with your healthcare provider. 

Who needs a postprandial glucose test?

A diabetologist recommends a postprandial glucose test when a patient has diabetes or another insulin-related medical condition. A healthcare provider generally prescribes this test if the patient experiences the following symptoms: 

  • Recurrent urination
  • Unexplained thirst
  • Blurred vision or other eyesight issues
  • Fatigue or tiredness
  • Recurrent infections
  • Wounds that heal slowly.

Gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy. Preventing or controlling gestational diabetes eliminates the risk of future health problems for the mother and her baby. A postprandial blood sugar test is recommended for pregnant women to check for gestational diabetes.

 Postprandial blood sugar: How you can control after-meal spikes.

Get the right medicine at the right time: To manage or control after-meal spikes, it is important to get the best medicine. The right insulin or medication dosage, which the healthcare provider prescribes, significantly affects the test readings.

Check blood sugar levels before meals. By checking your blood sugar levels before a meal, you can check on your meal and the food intake so that the changes in the readings aren’t dramatic.

Watch your platter. Try to include foods that don’t trigger post-meal spikes in blood sugar levels. Reduce sweets, white bread, rice, and junk food. 

The type of fat you consume plays a vital role. Research studies show spikes in blood sugar levels can be curbed by skipping foods with heavy amounts of butter and opting for a meal cooked with a bit of olive oil instead.
