I had a postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) test 2 hours after a meal, and the result was 250. Can you explain why this level is high? Also, can I take fish oil (Omega 3) for cholesterol management?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A PPBS of 250 is high, indicating high post meal blood sugar, possibly diabetes or poor sugar control. It can increase due to high carb meals, low activity, or insulin resistance. Focus on low carb, high fiber meals and regular exercise. For cholesterol, Omega 3 fish oil can help, but check with your doctor as it does not lower blood sugar. Do Fasting Blood Sugar, HbA1c, and Lipid Profile for a full assessment.

View allI recently got my blood sugar test done with fasting and my report showed 99 mg/dl. I performed the same test 8 months ago and it was 84. I am also currently undergoing homeopathy treatment. Please advise if my report is normal. I do not want it to reach 100 mg/dl. How can I lower it? I am worried.
