The Post Lunch Blood Sugar Test (PLBS / PPBS) costs ₹80 in Hyderabad, the same as every other city. You can give the blood sample at three centres in Hyderabad (Bowenpally, Film Nagar and Madhapur), or at home within Hyderabad. No fasting is needed. The report is usually ready the same day.
Hyderabad has three Live Line centres: Bowenpally (9:00 AM – 8:00 PM), Film Nagar (9:00 AM – 8:00 PM) and Madhapur (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM). Bowenpally and Film Nagar stay open until 8:00 PM, the latest in the city.

About the Post Lunch Blood Sugar Test (PLBS / PPBS)
The Post Lunch Blood Sugar test, also written as PLBS or PPBS (post prandial blood sugar), measures your glucose exactly 2 hours after you start a normal meal. After eating, blood sugar rises and the pancreas releases insulin to bring it back down. In a healthy person, the level is usually below 140 mg/dL by the 2 hour mark. If the body does not make enough insulin or does not respond to it well, the sugar stays high for longer.
- Parameters
- 1
- Sample
- Blood
- Fasting
- Not required
- Report
- Same day
Preparation
- Eat your usual lunch or breakfast, not a lighter or heavier meal than normal, and note the time you take the first bite.
- Give the sample exactly 2 hours after that first bite. Arrive a little early so the timing is not missed.
- Do not eat, chew gum, or have tea with sugar, juice or sweets during the 2 hours. Plain water is fine.
- Take your diabetes medicines with the meal as you usually do, unless your doctor says otherwise.
- Sit quietly while you wait; a brisk walk can lower the reading.
Normal range
| Parameter | Typical reference range |
|---|---|
| Normal | Below 140 mg/dL |
| Higher than normal | 140–199 mg/dLusually followed up with HbA1c or a glucose tolerance test |
| Suggests diabetes | 200 mg/dL or higherneeds confirmation |
| Common target for people with diabetes | Below 180 mg/dLyour doctor may set a different target |
These cut-offs come from the 2 hour glucose tolerance test. A meal varies more than a fixed glucose drink, so a post lunch value guides your doctor but does not diagnose diabetes on its own. Ranges are typical adult values and vary between labs, age and sex. Always use the range printed on your report and discuss results with your doctor.
