I just had my yearly check and when the GP saw that my HbA1c is down to 36, she said that she didn't think I was diabetic at all.
None of the doctors I have seen since diagnosed 5 years ago ever asked about my diet, and I never told them that I eat LCHF.
So now I have to do another OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test).
I realize that I have to eat like a non-diabetic for a couple of days before the test, and as I have only had max. 20 carbs a day for years, I will probably feel awful while doing that.
My question is if it is better to slowly up my carbs during a week or so, or just go full high carb for 2-3 days? I imagine that the body will be shocked if it is suddenly fed a lot of carbs, but I don't know how it will react, as I haven't strayed once in those years.
