    What is Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test?

    The Insulin Post Prandial test determines insulin concentrations in the blood after consuming a meal, assessing how well your body regulates glucose levels following food intake. "Post prandial" refers to "after eating," and the test measures the insulin your pancreas releases in response to glucose derived from food. Insulin is a crucial hormone that helps transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it provides essential energy for bodily functions. Glucose, primarily sourced from the diet, serves as the body’s primary energy supply. Insufficient insulin production leads to glucose accumulation in the blood, causing hyperglycaemia, which can evolve into diabetes. Chronic insulin imbalance or ineffective usage of insulin can escalate to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition if untreated. Through the Insulin Post Prandial test in Mumbai, you gain valuable insight into how your body manages glucose after meals. This diagnostic tool aids in detecting insulin resistance, diabetes, and associated health risks, providing important information to guide treatment strategies.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Parameters

    The Insulin Post Prandial test is used to measure a single parameter: the level of insulin in your blood after eating. Under normal conditions, insulin and blood glucose levels follow a synchronised pattern, rising and falling together. Preparation for this test typically involves fasting for 8-12 hours prior to the procedure. After this fasting phase, you are required to consume a meal or a glucose-based drink, and your blood insulin levels are then assessed at specific times, most often 1 and 2 hours post-meal. In some instances, additional samples may be drawn at 30-minute, 1-hour, and 2-hour marks to provide a detailed analysis of your body’s glucose regulation and insulin response. When food is ingested, blood glucose levels elevate, prompting the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin enables cells to absorb glucose from the blood, leading to a decrease in glucose levels. Once glucose levels stabilise, insulin levels decrease accordingly.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Preparation

    • Prerequisites: Fasting prior to the Insulin Post Prandial test is not needed.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You may undergo this test at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Insulin Post Prandial Test: Individuals showing symptoms of insulin-related conditions can use this test to assess their pancreas’s insulin production.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Insulin Post Prandial Test: There are no special preparations or precautions required for the Insulin Post Prandial test.

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

    Taking the Insulin Post Prandial test is crucial for:

    • Determining the Cause of Hypoglycaemia : This test helps identify if low blood sugar is a result of excess insulin production.

    • Diagnosing Insulin Resistance : It detects insulin resistance, a condition in which the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, possibly leading to conditions like prediabetes or type 2 diabetes in the long term.

    • Guiding Type 2 Diabetes Management : It provides insights into whether insulin therapy is necessary for managing type 2 diabetes effectively.

    • Evaluating Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplant Outcomes : The test is used to assess the success of islet cell transplantation in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

    • Exploring Hypoglycaemia Symptoms : Symptoms may include sweating, tremors, heart irregularities, confusion, dizziness, headaches, hunger, and in extreme cases, fainting or seizures.

    • Assessing Insulin Resistance Risk : This test is recommended for people with conditions like prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), heart disease, or acanthosis nigricans (a skin condition).

    • Tracking Post-Surgical Pancreatic Changes : The test can monitor the function of transplanted islet cells following transplantation. It is also performed after the removal of an insulin-producing tumour (insulinoma) to ensure there is no remaining tissue or tumour recurrence.
