Is it for diabetics only? No, this test is valuable for anyone at risk of or screening for diabetes, as it helps identify impaired glucose tolerance even in non-diabetics.
Is it more important than fasting sugar? Both matter equallyfasting sugar assesses baseline control, while post-lunch levels reveal how meals affect spikes, providing a fuller picture of glucose management.
Can stress raise sugar? Yes, stress can raise post-lunch blood sugar by triggering hormone release like cortisol, which increases glucose production, so results should be interpreted in context.
