In 2011, the International Diabetes Federation noted elevated PPG levels to be an independent risk factor for macrovascular disease; this had been since challenged on previous grounds and that PPG might be simply a marker or a surrogate of a complex series of metabolic events occurring in the postprandial period, that is already better reflected through other parameters. A detailed 2001 review by the American Diabetes Association had earlier noted that correlations of PPG values with other diabetics parameters were often understudied and widely variant, whilst chronic diabetes-related complications have been demonstrated over a too-broad range of PPG values, to be independently attributed to; the 2018 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes follows the same theme roughly. A 2019 review in Obesity Reviews was similar and noted inconclusive data as to the importance of PPG as a standalone parameter in diabetes diagnosis and management; it went on to propose a hyperglycemia-diabetes-CVD continuum and also criticized the lack of rigid standardization of a PPG test.
