title: The importance and treatment of postprandial hyperglycemia.
abstract: PPG is an important target to address in the overall management of T2DM. Lifestyle interventions play an important role in PPG control, as well as global diabetes management goals. Oral antihyperglycemic agents lower PPG to varying degrees. Our most powerful treatment option to address PPG is prandial insulin. Collaboration between patient, primary care clinician, diabetes educator, and dietitian is critical to successful initiation of insulin therapy.
