Postprandial glucose regulation: New data andnew implications

All components of the glucose triad (ie,FPG, HbA1c, and PPG) should be considered in the management of type 2 diabetes. Therapy targeted at PPG has been shown to improve glucose control and to reduce the progression of atherosclerosis and CV events; therefore, physicians should consider monitoring and targeting PPG, as well as HbAlc and FPG, in patients with type 2 diabetes.
