Post prandial blood sugar test is done to diagnose patients suspected to be suffering from diabetes. This test is done 2 hrs after having the meal. Though HbA1c is a preferred test to diagnose diabetes due to several advantages but blood glucose estimation is the test of choice for diagnosis in patients of hemoglobin variants, sickle cell anemia, pregnancy (2nd & 3rd trimester), postpartum (immediately after pregnancy), G6PD deficiency, HIV, hemodialysis, recent blood loss, transfusion, erythropoeitin therapy etc. In the above-mentioned cases HbA1c is not used to diagnose diabetes.
