2-Hour Post-Prandial Sugar (2hPP)

Taken exactly two hours after the start of a meal that contains carbohydrates. A healthy body brings sugar back below 140 within that time.

Useful to follow people with diabetes and adjust doses; with fasting sugar it gives a clearer picture of daily control.

Preparation before the test

• Eat a normal meal and count two hours from the first bite.
• Avoid heavy exercise and do not eat anything else during the two hours.
