    What is Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test?

    The Insulin Post Prandial test measures insulin levels in the blood after a meal, assessing how effectively your body is responding to food intake by managing glucose levels. "Post prandial" means "after eating," and this test evaluates the amount of insulin produced in response to the glucose absorbed from food. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, acts as a key that enables glucose to enter cells from the bloodstream, providing essential energy for the body. Glucose, derived mainly from food, is the primary energy source. Without adequate insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, causing high blood sugar levels, which can lead to diabetes. Persistent insulin deficiency or improper insulin use can also lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe condition that may become life-threatening if not managed properly.

    With our Insulin Post Prandial test in Bangalore, you can accurately assess your body’s insulin response after meals. This test provides insights into your risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and related health conditions, helping guide effective treatment options.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Parameters

    The Insulin Post Prandial test checks for only one parameter: the levels of insulin after food. Normally, insulin and blood glucose levels rise and fall together. For the Insulin Post Prandial test, you will generally need to fast for 8-12 hours beforehand. After fasting, you consume a meal or glucose drink, and then your blood insulin levels are measured at specific intervals, typically 1 and 2 hours after eating. In some cases, additional measurements may be taken at 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours post-meal to assess how well your body regulates glucose and responds to food intake. Blood glucose levels increase after eating, prompting the pancreas to release more insulin. This helps your cells absorb the glucose from the blood, lowering blood glucose levels. Once glucose levels in the blood return to normal, insulin levels decrease as well.

    Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test Preparation

    • Prerequisites: Fasting is not necessary before getting an Insulin Post Prandial test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can get this test done at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Insulin Post Prandial Test: If you have symptoms of a condition related to insulin, this test can help determine how much insulin your pancreas is producing.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Insulin Post Prandial Test: There are no specific precautions to follow before getting an Insulin Post Prandial test.

    Why Take the Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) Test?

    Taking an Insulin Post Prandial test is necessary to:

    • Identify the Cause of Hypoglycaemia : The test helps determine if low blood glucose is due to excess insulin production.

    • Diagnose Insulin Resistance : The test can detect insulin resistance, where cells don’t respond well to insulin, which can lead to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes over time.

    • Guide Type 2 Diabetes Treatment : The test assists in deciding if insulin therapy is needed for managing type 2 diabetes.

    • Monitor Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplant Success : It is used to assess transplant function after islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 diabetes.

    • Investigate Symptoms of Hypoglycaemia : Symptoms include sweating, shakiness, irregular heartbeat, confusion, dizziness, headache, hunger, and in severe cases, fainting or seizures.

    • Assess Risk of Insulin Resistance : It is recommended for individuals with conditions like prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, heart disease, or acanthosis nigricans (a skin condition).

    • Monitor After Pancreatic Surgery : The test can be done after islet cell transplantation, to check if the transplanted cells are working. It is also done after the removal of an insulinoma (a rare insulin-producing tumour) to ensure the tumour hasn’t returned or left any remaining tissue.

    • The best experience I have had in the last two weeks with multiple tests booked for different family members. From the moment I contacted them till the receipt of the results and re-bookings for follow up tests, everything was fantastic. Pls note the sample taking covered early morning visit, for a patient aged 90+!! Initially I had made the big mistake of contacting another big-noise, big-ad spending Lab service provider based on a Google search of a particular test resulting in its top of page listing, and was utterly disgusted with that Labs' service. I would fully recommend Orange for anyone - possibly any test, any age patient. Thank you Orange Labs.
