Diagnosis
Your body does not produce enough insulin to keep
your blood sugar in balance if you have diabetes. This
indicates that your blood sugar levels are too high,
which can lead to major health issues such as heart,
nerve, kidney, and eye damage over time. After a
meal, it's called postprandial.

The Postprandial glucose test (PPBS) is a blood

glucose test that determines the kind of sugar, often

PREVENTION
&
 Prevention and
Control
Because type 1 diabetes is caused by an immune system malfunction, it
is not preventable. Some factors that contribute to diabetes, such as
genetics or age, are also beyond our control.

However, many other diabetes risk factors are controllable. The majority
of diabetes prevention strategies involve making minor changes to our
diet and exercise routine.
