What is a critical value after a 2-hour postprandial?

  1. A. Less than 70 mg/dL

  2. B. Between 80-90 mg/dL

  3. C. Greater than 105 mg/dL

  4. D. Exactly 100 mg/dL

The correct answer is: C. Greater than 105 mg/dL

A critical value after a 2-hour postprandial refers to the blood glucose level measured 2 hours after consuming a meal. A value that is greater than 105 mg/dL indicates hyperglycemia, which can be a sign of diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Monitoring postprandial glucose levels is crucial in managing diabetes as it helps healthcare providers assess how well blood sugar levels are being controlled after eating. Therefore, a value greater than 105 mg/dL is considered a critical value as it may warrant further investigation or intervention to prevent complications associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels.
