What does glucose excursion mean in this context within

What does glucose excursion mean in this context within?
Postprandial by the way means after a meal. Background: Postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) excursion is a significant determinant of overall metabolic control as well as an increased risk for diabetic complications. Older persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) are more likely to have moderate cognitive deficits and neurophysiologic and structural changes in brain tissue. Considering that poor metabolic control is considered a deranging factor for tissue/organ damage in diabetics, the authors hypothesized that PPG excursion is associated with a decline in cognitive functioning and that a tighter control of PPG may prevent cognitive decline. 1st answerer that didn't help at all...I just want a CLEAR definition of what it means, I've already looked on google and can't find the meaning.

I can't answer you either - I just wanted to pass on to you that posters like the first one that answered you are "spammers" and they post their crap using key words in the questions to trigger an answer.
2 :
In the real world it's called glucose intolerance. I love that flowery descriptive amorphous petulance. The would probably call diabetes as a glucose exuberance.
3 :
postprandial glucose excursions (PPGEs) is the change in glucose concentration after a meal and the incremental glucose area the incremental glucose area is the area under the glucose curve that is above the premeal (or pre– oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT]) value http://care.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/reprint/24/4/775.pdf So I believe it is the rate of removal of glucose from the blood, and it is similiar to the idea of the glycemic index.
