[quote=Anonymous]OP here: This was the diet laid out in the doctor's materials (but which the docs now seem to have rescinded?): If, by chance, it is necessary for you to undergo a 3-hour GTT, you will need to follow a specific diet beforehand. The suggestions outlined below represent a high carbohydrate diet designed to supply the proper amounts of food needed to obtain an accurate test. You should eat at least the amounts shown below. You may also add to the diet any other food you would like. Important: Eat the diet as listed daily for three (3) days, plus anything else you desire. Also, you should not eat or drink after 10 pm the night before the test. Breakfast • Cereal (1/2 cup) cooked or dry • Bread, white, two (2) slices • Skim milk (1 cup) Lunch (Noon) • Potato (1 medium, 2 1?2” diameter) • Vegetable (1/2 cup) cooked • Bread, white, 2 slices • Dessert Dinner (Evening) • Follow the same menu as specified for lunch.[/quote]
