    What is Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test?

    The Insulin Post Prandial test measures the insulin levels in the blood after consuming food, providing information into how your body manages glucose levels following a meal. "Post prandial" refers to the period after eating, and this test evaluates how your body responds to the glucose that is absorbed from the food consumed. Insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, plays a vital role in transferring glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it is used as an important energy source. The primary source of glucose is food, which gives energy to the body’s various functions. If insulin levels are insufficient, glucose accumulates in the blood, leading to hyperglycaemia and increasing the risk of diabetes. Continuous issues with insulin regulation can result in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe and potentially fatal condition. The Insulin Post Prandial test in Noida helps monitor how insulin functions in your body after meals, making it essential for detecting conditions like insulin resistance and diabetes. It helps doctors to create personalised treatment strategies.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Parameters

    The Insulin Post Prandial test measures a single parameter: the insulin levels following a meal. Typically, insulin and blood glucose levels exhibit a reciprocal pattern of increase and decrease in response to each other. Prior to taking this test, an 8-12 hour fasting period is usually required. Once the fasting period is over, you will consume a meal or drink a glucose solution, and blood samples will be collected at specific time intervals, typically at 1 and 2 hours after consumption. In some situations, additional blood draws may be taken at intervals such as 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours post-meal to assess how your body processes glucose and reacts to the intake of food. After eating, glucose levels rise, prompting the pancreas to secrete insulin. This insulin enables glucose to move from the bloodstream into cells, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Once the glucose levels normalise, insulin production also decreases.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Preparation

    • Prerequisites: Fasting is not necessary before undergoing the Insulin Post Prandial test.

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

    • Who Should Get an Insulin Post Prandial Test: If you are experiencing symptoms related to insulin imbalances, this test helps assess the insulin levels produced by your pancreas.

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

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

    The Insulin Post Prandial test serves the following purposes:

    • Determine Causes of Low Blood Sugar: This test identifies if hypoglycaemia is due to excessive insulin production.

    • Diagnose Insulin Resistance: It detects when cells in the body do not respond properly to insulin, potentially leading to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

    • Aid in Managing Type 2 Diabetes: It helps assess whether insulin therapy is required for type 2 diabetes control.

    • Evaluate Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation Outcomes: This test monitors the functionality of transplanted islet cells in patients with type 1 diabetes.

    • Evaluate Symptoms of Hypoglycaemia: Symptoms like sweating, trembling, irregular heartbeats, confusion, dizziness, headaches, and in severe cases, fainting or seizures, can be investigated.

    • Assess Risk Factors for Insulin Resistance: It is recommended for people with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, heart conditions, or conditions like acanthosis nigricans.

    • Monitor After Pancreatic Surgery: It helps verify the success of islet cell transplants and ensures no residual insulin-producing tumour tissue (insulinoma) remains.
