[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 481560, member: 40343"] You can get the exact 75g of glucose required by drinking 394ml of original lucazade. Don't want to disagree with Fergie but I thought you had to do greater than 150g of carbs a day for at least 3 days before the test. The reason is your insulin response to a meal is somewhat predicated on how many carbs on average you've been recently consuming. Rather than just test at the start and end its probably wise to test at one hour which is roughly where you will see the highest spike. For the last two years I have easily passed an OGTT test i.e I end up under 7.8 after 2 hours but the shape of my graph when I measure at 15 minute intervals is nothing like that of a non diabetic person. Many non diabetics will never exceed 8 throughout the entire test but although for example I ended up in the 5's after two hours on my last OGTT at one hour I was in the low teens. [/QUOTE]
