[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1605164, member: 345386"] [USER=24561]@Chook[/USER] - I did mine at home, testing every 15 minutes. It would actually have been good to have been wearing a Libre because the 15 minute testing (my choice) was a pest. I didn't carb up beforehand, and I accept that that's off standard protocol, but since I have low-carbed for around 4 years (with differing levels of carb consumption), I felt it would be creating a false state (for me) by carbing up. I had also recently been tested for Coeliac (and a bunch of other stuff) and when I commented on the pre-test gluten consumption requirements, my Endo stated that it was up to me, be he saw no need to create a false state, not reflecting my usual way of living, but added the caveat that it made a negative test more likely. I didn't gluten up. My take on it was that I wanted to understand my tolerance, or intolerance of a hit of glucose within my day-to-day usual way of living. If I were intending to increase my carb intake, I might have chosen differently. For me, the important thing is that if I chose to do another test, I would mirror the first time conditions (no carbing up, Lucozade in the same "dose" etc) as first time, to understand any significant variances. I'm not suggesting that's the way you, or anyone else tackle it, just explaining my own rationale. [/QUOTE]
