[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1392594, member: 94045"] Well done, and keep posting, reading and asking questions. A word of advice about the OGGT test should you have one. On a low carb diet, for about 3 days before your test, you need to eat more carbs or it won't work properly and you will almost certainly fail it. So for accuracy, eat at least 150g carbs daily leading up to the test. This is because your body won't be used to glucose from carbs and when you drink that big glass of pure glucose at the test, your body will be in shock and totally unprepared, so your blood glucose levels will shoot up abnormally high. If you eat more carbs for a few days beforehand your body will have adapted to this and be more ready for the glucose drink. This will then produce an accurate result. [/QUOTE]
