[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2403827, member: 94045"] I agree with [USER=517232]@Ronancastled[/USER] You need to eat in excess of 150g of carbs daily for at least 3 days prior to the test or the results will be skewed. Because of your current diet your pancreas is used to producing only small amounts of insulin as this is all that is needed when hardly any carbs are eaten. To suddenly bombard the pancreas with 75g of pure glucose is a shock for it, and it will not be ready to produce sufficient insulin to cope with this. The private clinic medics will assume you eat a diet similar to everyone else, so may be unlikely to warn you about this. [/QUOTE]
