You say you want to fail the test. No-one can say if you will fail or pass the test, but if you stick to your very low carb and do not carb up, you have more chance of failing it. Why not have a go at home with 75mg of glucose rather than a higher carb meal?
In the UK, even if we have been taken off the register, we still get our annual retinal screening. (These are the instructions given to GPs) I don't know how it works in your country, but when I was nagged about coming off the register my nurse assured me I would still have annual HbA1c and foot checks because of being deemed to be "at risk". Perhaps it is worth investigating?
By the way, I declined the offer to come off the register because currently I have 6 monthly blood checks and I would be moved to annual if I came off it, so I do understand your thinking.
I don't know why I didn't think of drinking some glucose instead of eating carbs. It sounds like a more reliable test. Lucozade isn't sold here, but I am sure I can find something similar. Thanks for the idea. I will try it out.
My GP told me that I can't have the tests anymore if I'm not registered as diabetic. I have no saying in that.
