[QUOTE="AnnInDenmark, post: 1453260, member: 102501"] [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] Thanks for your replies. It is my choice to take the OGTT. I certainly can say no, but if I don't "prove" that I have diabetes, I will no longer get my yearly HbA1c, retinopathy, and neuropathy tests, and I would like them to continue. I don't look forward to having to eat a lot of carbs, and I would prefer to have as few high carb meals as possible, but I am afraid of how my body will react if it all happens too sudden. Luckily the test is not set on a fixed date. I can just show up at the lab whenever I want, and have it done, which means that I have time to prepare myself both physically and mentally. Instructions from the lab is to eat a high carb meal the evening before the test, fast at least 8 hours, not to drink any alcohol, and not to drink more than 2-3 glasses of water during fasting. I don't think that one meal is enough. [/QUOTE]
