Is Postprandial Glucose Control Important?
Is It Practical In Primary Care Settings?

In Brief

Large interventional studies have shown that achieving and maintaining near-normal glycemic levels reduces the risk for microvascular and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes. The impact of postprandial glucose on glycemic control has become a topic of much discussion among clinicians. This article examines the literature related to the role of postprandial glucose in type 2 diabetes, both as a contributor to overall glycemia and as an independent risk factor for diabetes complications, and discusses the practicality of managing postprandial hyperglycemia in primary care settings.
