Why is a PPBS test important?

A PPBS test is crucial for identifying how your body regulates blood sugar levels after eating. High postprandial blood sugar levels may indicate diabetes, insulin resistance, or issues with glucose metabolism. The test is also essential for monitoring blood sugar control in people with diabetes and assessing the effectiveness of medications or lifestyle changes. Regular PPBS testing can help prevent long-term complications like nerve damage, kidney disease, or cardiovascular issues associated with poorly managed diabetes.
