What is 1 hour postprandial Plasma glucose?

The 1-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) test measures blood sugar levels one hour after eating. It is commonly used to monitor glucose metabolism, particularly in individuals with diabetes or those undergoing gestational diabetes screening.

What to expect & how to prepare

1 hour postprandial Plasma glucose is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your 1 hour postprandial Plasma glucose result rather than self-diagnosing.
