[quote=Anonymous]My wife got a higher-than-desirable reading on her initial glucose screening test, so now she'll be taking the three-hour glucose tolerance test next week. She hasn't gotten clear instructions from her doctors on how to prepare for the test. First, the office sent her a document with a specific high-carb diet she was to eat for the three days before the test (two slices of white bread with every meal, potato with lunch and dinner, etc). Then they told her she can actually eat whatever she wants. Does anyone have clearer advice or guidelines for how to get an accurate test reading? We've been eating a pretty low-carb diet generally, and I'm concerned that her body's not used to a lot of sugar and maybe struggles to process the glucose drink. So should she follow that document? And/or should she slowly ramp up her carb intake over the next few days, even before that three-day period? The test is next Thursday. Thanks for any advice!![/quote]
