Glucose Fasting & PP

Glucose Fasting & PP Panel is a comprehensive test that measures the levels of glucose in the blood both before and after a meal. The test helps in diagnosing and monitoring various conditions related to glucose metabolism. At Apollo 24|7, we offer this test to provide accurate and timely results for individuals of all age groups. The Glucose Fasting & PP Panel is primarily used for the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is a chronic condition characterised by elevated blood glucose levels due to either insufficient insulin production or impaired insulin action. This test helps in assessing fasting glucose levels and postprandial glucose levels, which are crucial in determining the overall glucose control in individuals. Some of the common symptoms that may indicate the need for a Glucose Fasting & PP Test, include: Frequent urination Excessive thirst Unexplained weight loss Fatigue Blurred vision Slow healing of wounds Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet To perform the Glucose Fasting & PP Panel, a sample of blood is collected from the patient using a sodium fluoride plasma tube. The patient needs to be fasting for a minimum of 8 hours prior to the test to ensure accurate results. The sodium fluoride additive helps preserve the glucose levels in the sample without any changes during transportation to the laboratory. The patient arrives at the designated collection centre after fasting for a minimum of 10-12 hours. A healthcare professional collects a sample of blood using a sodium fluoride plasma tube. The sample is then transported to the laboratory for analysis. In the laboratory, the glucose levels in both fasting and postprandial samples are measured using advanced diagnostic techniques. The test results are generated and made available within a short turnaround time. If an individual receives a positive diagnosis for diabetes based on the Glucose Fasting & PP Panel, various treatment options are available. These may include lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. Additionally, medication, insulin therapy, and regular monitoring of blood glucose levels may also be recommended by healthcare professionals to manage the condition effectively.
