Service Providers for Plasma glucose 1 hr after meal
This test measures blood sugar levels 1 hour after eating to assess how the body processes glucose, aiding in diabetes diagnosis. Preparation involves eating a standard meal before the test. During the test, a blood sample is taken one hour after eating. Risks are minimal, but there may be slight discomfort from the blood draw. After the test, no special care is needed. Results are interpreted by comparing the glucose level to normal ranges: levels above 180 mg/dL may suggest diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Conditions like stress, illness, or medications can affect the results.
