Test Code

Glucose Post Prandial, also known as PPBS, measures the blood glucose level 2 hours after starting a normal meal. This test evaluates how effectively insulin controls the rise in blood sugar following food intake.

PPBS is a key test for diagnosing diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, and for monitoring glycemic control in individuals with diabetes. Elevated post-meal glucose levels indicate impaired insulin response or insulin resistance and are strongly linked to long-term diabetes complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, and nerve disorders. PPBS is often interpreted along with Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and HbA1c for comprehensive diabetes management.
