India, being an epicenter of diabetic population, faces increases in disease prevalence of more than double, every 15 years, and is projected to have about 123.5 million cases by the year 2040.1 In addition to achieving target glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7%, intensive control of blood glucose levels is important in order to retard or arrest the development and progression of the microvascular complications of diabetes. Changes in postprandial blood glucose (PPBG) levels precede those in fasting blood glucose (FBG) and finally in HbA1c. Hence, the management of both FBG and PPBG is critical to achieving full glycemic control;2 the latter often being more challenging to achieve.3
