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.

Parkin et al. (2002) conducted a review in Type 2 diabetes. Postprandial glucose control was evaluated on Microvascular and macrovascular diabetes complications and overall glycemic control. Postprandial glucose management is examined for its role in overall glycemia, independent risk for type 2 diabetes complications, and practicality in primary care (no quantitative results in abstract).
