    What is Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test?

    The Insulin Post Prandial test measures insulin levels present in the blood following a meal, providing a clear idea about your body’s capacity to regulate glucose after eating. The term "post prandial" means "after eating," and the test identifies the insulin response to glucose absorbed from food. Insulin, produced by the pancreas, is essential for moving glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it serves as a critical energy source. Glucose, predominantly derived from meals, is the primary fuel for the body. When insulin levels are inadequate, glucose remains in the blood, resulting in hyperglycaemia and increasing the risk of diabetes. Persistent insulin irregularities or misuse can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a potentially life-threatening complication.

    The Insulin Post Prandial test in Delhi allows you to assess your insulin activity after meals. This test is crucial for identifying potential insulin resistance, diabetes, and related conditions, enabling doctors to work out precise and effective management plans.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Parameters

    The Insulin Post Prandial test measures a single parameter: post-meal insulin levels. Normally, insulin and blood glucose levels show a consistent rise and fall in response to each other. Before undergoing this test, a fasting period of 8-12 hours is generally required. After fasting, you will eat a meal or drink a glucose solution, followed by blood tests conducted at specific intervals, usually 1 and 2 hours after eating. In certain cases, additional blood samples may be taken at intervals such as 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours post-meal to evaluate how your body manages glucose and reacts to food intake. Following a meal, blood glucose levels increase, triggering the pancreas to release insulin. This hormone allows glucose to move from the bloodstream into cells, reducing blood glucose levels. When glucose levels return to normal, insulin production decreases as well.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Preparation

    • Prerequisites: You are not required to fast before taking the Insulin Post Prandial test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: This test can be conducted at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get an Insulin Post Prandial Test: If you are experiencing signs of insulin-related issues, this test helps determine the insulin produced by your pancreas.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Insulin Post Prandial Test: No specific actions or precautions need to be taken before completing the Insulin Post Prandial test.

    Why Take the Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test?

    The Insulin Post Prandial test is necessary for the following purposes:

    • Identify Causes of Hypoglycaemia : This test can help determine whether low blood sugar is caused by excessive insulin production.

    • Diagnose Insulin Resistance : It detects insulin resistance, where the body’s cells fail to respond effectively to insulin, increasing the risk of developing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes over time.

    • Guide Type 2 Diabetes Treatment : This test is helpful in assessing whether insulin therapy is needed for the management of type 2 diabetes.

    • Monitor Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation Effectiveness : It is used to evaluate the success of islet cell transplants in people with type 1 diabetes.

    • Investigate Symptoms of Hypoglycaemia : Common symptoms include sweating, shakiness, irregular heartbeats, confusion, dizziness, headaches, hunger, and in severe cases, fainting or seizures.

    • Evaluate Risk of Insulin Resistance : It is advised for individuals who have prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), heart disease, or acanthosis nigricans (a skin condition).

    • Post-Pancreatic Surgery Monitoring : This test can be conducted after islet cell transplants to monitor their success. It is also done after the removal of insulin-producing tumours (insulinomas) to ensure that no remaining tumour or tissue exists.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
