    What is Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test?

    The Insulin Post Prandial test evaluates the level of insulin in your bloodstream following a meal, examining how efficiently your body processes glucose after eating. The term "post prandial" means "after eating," and this test measures the insulin your body generates in reaction to glucose absorbed from food. Insulin, a vital hormone produced by the pancreas, acts as a gatekeeper, enabling glucose from the bloodstream to enter cells for energy. Glucose, the main energy source for the body, is primarily obtained through food. Without sufficient insulin, glucose builds up in the blood, leading to elevated sugar levels, a precursor to diabetes. Long-term insulin deficiency or improper insulin utilisation can result in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a critical condition requiring immediate intervention. With our Insulin Post Prandial test in Hyderabad, you can accurately monitor your insulin production after eating. This test is useful in identifying risks of insulin resistance, diabetes, and related complications, enabling tailored medical guidance for better management.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Parameters

    The Insulin Post Prandial test evaluates one specific parameter: insulin levels after food consumption. Typically, both insulin and blood glucose levels increase and decrease together. To prepare for this test, you are generally required to fast for 8-12 hours. Following the fasting period, you consume a meal or a glucose solution, after which blood samples are taken to measure insulin levels at designated times, commonly 1 and 2 hours after eating. Occasionally, additional samples may be collected at intervals such as 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours post-meal to analyse your body’s glucose regulation and response to food. When you eat, blood glucose levels rise, triggering the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin helps in the absorption of glucose into cells, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. As glucose levels return to their baseline, insulin levels naturally decline.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Preparation

    • Prerequisites: Fasting is not necessary before getting an Insulin Post Prandial test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can get this test done at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Insulin Post Prandial Test: If you have symptoms of a condition related to insulin, this test can help determine how much insulin your pancreas is producing.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Insulin Post Prandial Test: There are no specific precautions to follow before getting an Insulin Post Prandial test.

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

    The Insulin Post Prandial test is essential for the following reasons:

    • Identify the Source of Hypoglycaemia : This test can help identify whether low blood sugar is caused by an overproduction of insulin.

    • Diagnose Insulin Resistance : The test detects insulin resistance, a condition where cells do not respond properly to insulin, potentially leading to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes over time.

    • Guide Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes : The test plays a role in determining whether insulin therapy is necessary for controlling type 2 diabetes.

    • Monitor Success of Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation : It helps evaluate the function of transplanted islet cells in individuals with type 1 diabetes after the procedure.

    • Investigate Hypoglycaemia Symptoms : Symptoms include sweating, shaking, irregular heart rhythms, confusion, dizziness, headaches, hunger, and in severe cases, fainting or seizures.

    • Evaluate Insulin Resistance Risk : It is recommended for people with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), cardiovascular disease, or acanthosis nigricans (a skin condition).

    • Monitor Post-Pancreatic Surgery : After islet cell transplants, this test checks the function of the transplanted cells. It is also useful after the removal of insulin-producing tumours (insulinomas) to ensure no residual tissue or tumour growth.
