This test measures the level of glucose in the blood two hours after consuming breakfast, while taking into account whether the individual has taken a glucose-lowering tablet or insulin. It helps to assess how well the body is able to manage glucose levels after a meal, particularly in individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing it.

How our test process works!
The plasma glucose 2 hours after breakfast (ABF) test measures the level of glucose in the blood two hours after eating a meal, typically breakfast. This test is often used to monitor glucose control in individuals with diabetes, particularly those on medication such as tablets or insulin.
High levels (above 200 mg/dL) could indicate uncontrolled diabetes, improper medication management, or the need for a change in treatment (e.g., adjusting insulin dosage or oral medications).
Low levels (hypoglycemia, below 70 mg/dL) may occur due to excess insulin or oral medication, or inadequate carbohydrate intake before or after the meal.
Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
Prediabetes: 140-199 mg/dL (7.8-11.0 mmol/L)
Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher
The ranges can slightly vary depending on the laboratory performing the test.
Normal range (Less than 140 mg/dL): Indicates normal glucose tolerance. The body is able to manage sugar from the meal efficiently.
Prediabetes (140-199 mg/dL): Indicates impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). There’s a higher risk of developing diabetes in the future.
Diabetes (200 mg/dL or more): Suggests that blood sugar control is poor, and the patient likely has diabetes. If the patient is already diabetic, it may indicate inadequate control despite medication.
