Postprandial glucose

Glucose usually checked about two hours after a meal.

Postprandial means after eating. Checking glucose around two hours after a meal shows how your body handled that food: the rise, the peak, and the return toward baseline.

Pairing a post-meal reading with a note about what you ate is one of the most useful habits for spotting which meals suit you.
