One should check blood glucose levels ideally twice a day but even checking once a day can help monitor diabetes.
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.
For fasting sugar you cannot eat anything. For post prandial you can eat a banana before the test.
The readings should be ideally below 140mg/dl. Additionally, the doctor will assess your results depending upon your age.
PPBS stands for post prandial blood sugar test. This test is done to measure the level of blood glucose exactly two hours post eating a meal.
