Plasma glucose 1 hr after meal Price in Bangladesh

What is Plasma glucose 1 hr after meal?

This test measures blood sugar levels 1 hour after eating to assess how the body processes glucose, aiding in diabetes diagnosis. Preparation involves eating a standard meal before the test.

During the test, a blood sample is taken one hour after eating. Risks are minimal, but there may be slight discomfort from the blood draw.

After the test, no special care is needed. Results are interpreted by comparing the glucose level to normal ranges: levels above 180 mg/dL may suggest diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.

Conditions like stress, illness, or medications can affect the results.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
