Hi All
I recently had OGTT done in a private clinic in Scotland but instead of 75g of glucose, they have given me 380ml Lucozade to drink. I thought it was weird ... Even during the test I have asked for confirmation if that drink had needed amount of glucose. The receptionist replied that it was all correct and overlooked by the specialist. Ok, I thought maybe I`m being paranoid. When I got my results they were bizarre. My glucose level after 1hr was actually lower than fasting. When I requested more info about the drink - I got that I drank 380 ml Lucozade orange that has less than 32 carbohydrates total. 75 grams of glucose is 71.3 grams of carbs so basically I only got half of the required dose. When I questioned that I was told that there is no error and the test was done correctly... I feel a bit like I was scammed or maybe I`m wrong? I would very much appreciate your input.
