It stands for plasma glucose post eating a meal.
Apart from the blood glucose test if your child is experiencing extreme hunger, shakiness and sweats that means your child has juvenile diabetes and hypoglycemia (very low blood glucose levels).
It is not curable because the pancrease do not produce the hormone insulin which can help in storing sugar
Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas. The stimulus for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose.. Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. Usually healthy body maintains it at 90mg/dl.
