Have you been eating carbs for a few days leading up to this? It's generally accepted that at least 130gr per day should be eaten for a few days prior to the OGTT. Not doing that increases your chances of a false positive test.

Good luck with it all.

Did you do a glucose drink or eat a meal containing additional carbs?
