Postprandial Plasma glucose Price in Bangladesh

What is Postprandial Plasma glucose?

Postprandial plasma glucose refers to the blood glucose level measured after eating, typically 2 hours following a meal. It helps evaluate how well the body processes glucose after food intake.

Normal postprandial glucose levels should be below 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).

Elevated levels may indicate impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes. A high postprandial glucose level can be a sign of poor insulin function or insulin resistance, particularly in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

This test is often used in combination with fasting blood glucose levels to diagnose and manage diabetes and other metabolic conditions.

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.
