I have a question about a 3 hr glucose test (my initial glucose - TopicsExpress



          

I have a question about a 3 hr glucose test (my initial glucose was 107, so I get to do a 3 hr). My doctor sent me a diet to follow for 3 days prior to 3 hr glucose test. It requires me to eat 3 servings of carbs & and a candy bar at EVERY MEAL for 3 days. Of course my glucose will be high! (Im eating a low carb diet currently (< 30 grms carbs at meals, < 15 grms carbs at snacks). Can anyone help me understand why they want me to eat a high carb/sugar diet for 3 days prior to by glucose tolerance test? Any recs would be WELL appreciated. Also, I think this confirms the need for a new Ob. Not what I wanted to do at 23 wks pregnant.
