Info on diet to eat before 3-hour glucose test

Can anyone provide any further information about the concentrated carbohydrate diet that I have read you should eat for three days before doing the 3-hr glucose test? The lab where I have to do the test said there is no special diet, but I know that I have read on this forum and elsewhere that there is a special diet you should follow before the test. Any further info on what specifically to eat would be much appreciated.

yes - eat lots of pasta, bread, apples, drink OJ.
I think that the 3 hour test is more conclusive though regardless. |

| My dr requires the 3 hr glucose for all her patients. I didn't eat any special diet and my test came out normal. |

these are the WORST things you should eat before a 3 hour glucose. This is nothing but carbs and sugar!!! 
OP, eat lots of lean proteins and vegetables. Chicken, fish, lots of greens. Go google "low glycemic diet" and you should get some good information. |
