Glucose Urine Postprandial Test and Its Price in Delhi, India

Glucose is very essential to our body as it is the main source of energy in the body. Very high or low level of glucose is not good for our body. Insulin is a hormone responsible for the correct use of the glucose by the cells.

If there is an unusual change in the insulin level then glucose level also gets imbalanced. If the glucose level is high, it can be the cause of hyperglycemia and if the level of glucose gets lower it can negatively affect the brain and can cause dysfunction in the nerves.

Glucose Postprandial Urine Test is prescribed to check the level of glucose in body after having a meal. This test is also recommended to know the after effects of insulin therapy in patients of diabetes.

What do urine glucose and urine sugar measurements mean?

Once two hours have passed since the beginning of the last meal, the glucose postprandial test analyses the levels of glucose in the urine.

All of the body's cells use glucose, a simple sugar or monosaccharide, as their primary source of energy. It's crucial to understand that the neurological system only receives energy from glucose. The simplest form of carbohydrates found in food is termed glucose, which is absorbed by the intestines and carried to numerous organs via the blood. Cells in these organs then use it to make energy where it is required. The excess is either temporarily stored as glycogen in the liver.

Every time you eat, your blood sugar levels rise. In response, your body releases insulin, which lowers those levels until they return to normal. Glucagon, another pancreatic hormone, is released if blood glucose levels drop too low. The liver is instructed by glucagon to produce glucose from stored glycogen and release it into the circulation. A feedback loop is established by the hormones glucagon and insulin to maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range. High or low blood sugar levels in the body might be brought on by an imbalance in their activities.

To create urine, the kidney filters the blood. In most cases, urine contains little or no glucose. Glycosuria, or a high level of glucose in the urine, is a sign of extremely high blood glucose levels.
