Postprandial refers to the blood glucose levels post a meal. This test is done to see how your body responds to sugar and starch after you eat a meal. As you digest the food in your stomach, blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels rise sharply.
In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but the cells don't respond to it as they should. This is called insulin resistance.
A postprandial blood sugar measurement below 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is considered normal. If your levels are between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 and 11 mmol/L), it indicates that you may have prediabetes
You should not have a fasting sugar test done if you have eaten anything before the test.
One can maintain a blood sugar level post meal by eating right amount of carbohydrates and incorporating walking post meals.
