Plasma glucose 2 hrs after meal Price in Bangladesh

What is Plasma glucose 2 hrs after meal?

This test measures blood glucose levels two hours after eating to assess how the body processes sugar, helping diagnose diabetes or insulin resistance. Preparation requires fasting for at least 8 hours before the test.

After eating a specified meal, a blood sample is taken 2 hours later. Risks include minor discomfort from the needle and potential bruising.

After the test, you can resume normal activities. Results are interpreted based on glucose levels: higher than normal levels suggest impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes.

Conditions like stress, illness, or recent high-carbohydrate intake can influence 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.
