According to the World Health Organization, the timely detection of changes in the treatment of diabetes complications can reduce the rate of disease severity and also reduce the cost of treatment. In order to effectively reduce the risk of diabetes, we are promoting the ability to self-test blood glucose levels, to adjust the disease in a timely manner, to reduce the damage caused by the disease, and to reduce the burden on families. The 2-hour postprandial glucose normal value test is one of the daily self-testing tests, which reflects the effectiveness of treatment for diabetes and is also one of the methods to screen for diabetes. Many people think that daily fasting blood glucose test is enough, but in fact, this idea is not correct, because people’s blood glucose is likely to change after meal, and 2 hours after meal blood glucose is a very valuable test index. The range of normal value of 2 hours after meal blood glucose The normal 2 hours after meal blood glucose is just less than 7.8 mmol/L, and the 2 hours after meal blood glucose is greater than or equal to 11.1 mmol/L for diabetes. If the postprandial 2-hour blood glucose exceeds 11.1 mmol/L, it is easy to have chronic complications such as diabetic eye, kidney and nerve, so we should try to make the postprandial 2-hour blood glucose lower than 11.1 mmol/L. If fasting blood sugar is 6.1 mmol/L-7.0 mmol/L, it is called fasting blood sugar impairment. If fasting blood glucose is normal and postprandial normal is between 7.8 mmol/L and 11.1 mmol/L, then it is called reduced glucose tolerance. Impaired fasting glucose and reduced glucose tolerance can be seen as a transitional stage from normal to diabetes, but can be reversed to normal with proper treatment. If not properly treated, diabetes can develop. However, for people below middle age and those who are not seriously ill, the 2-hour postprandial glucose value should be strictly controlled below 7.8 mmol/L because mild postprandial hyperglycemia, especially, has adverse effects on blood pressure and cardiovascular. When is the normal 2-hour postprandial blood glucose value calculated? The normal 2-hour postprandial blood glucose value is a method to detect the change of blood glucose condition of human body after meal, so what time is the normal 2-hour postprandial blood glucose value detected from to reduce the error? The 2-hour postprandial blood glucose refers to the plan from the time of eating the first bite, and then measuring the blood glucose value 2 hours later. Since people take different times to eat, the blood glucose of people who eat slowly may have risen by the end of the meal, while the blood glucose of people who eat quickly has not changed much yet, and if this is not the case, the results will be inconsistent at 2 hours after the meal, which causes the difference. Therefore, the blood glucose at 2 hours after meal should be calculated from the time of starting the first bite to minimize the error as much as possible. The 2-hour postprandial glucose normal value test is one of the tests that are part of daily self-testing, which reflects the effectiveness of treatment for diabetes and is also one of the methods of screening for diabetes. Timely testing can yield relatively valid data, and it is recommended that everyone use this method. The standard of normal value of blood glucose 2 hours after meal for diabetic patients Some people often ignore the test of normal value of blood glucose 2 hours after meal, in fact, the reason why the normal value of blood glucose 2 hours after meal is set to this value is mainly for judging the current symptoms of diabetic patients with blood glucose changes and making timely response. The measurement of 2-hour postprandial blood glucose change can detect the possible existence of postprandial hyperglycemia. Many type 2 diabetic patients do not have high fasting blood glucose, but high postprandial blood glucose. If only fasting blood glucose is checked, diabetic patients often think that their blood glucose is well controlled and miss the disease. The 2-hour postprandial blood glucose can better reflect the appropriateness of eating and using hypoglycemic drugs, which cannot be reflected by fasting blood glucose. The 2-hour postprandial blood glucose monitoring does not affect normal medication or injection, nor does it affect normal eating, so it does not cause special fluctuation of blood glucose. At the same time, the 2-hour postprandial glucose normal value test is also able to detect potential diabetes. If the test taker has a normal 2-hour postprandial blood glucose value between 7.8-11.1 mmol/L, this requires further testing. This is usually done as an oral glucose tolerance test to determine if you are diabetic since. And if your normal value of 2 hours postprandial glucose is ≥11.1mmol/L, you should first rule out errors before having a test. If the 2 hours postprandial glucose normal value check is still ≥11.1mmol/L, you can be diagnosed as a diabetic.
