[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Yes, she's instructed to fast before the test. It's in the morning, so she won't be eating anything after dinner the night before. Our aim is certainly not to game the test. We want an accurate result. My concern is just that with vague instructions, we want to be sure that we're not getting an *inaccurate* result (false positive) by not preparing for the test properly.[b] I know a three-day high-carb diet is often prescribed before the test[/b], and so I'm wondering what the effect of this is, and whether lower-than-average carb consumption in the days/weeks before the test can lead to a false positive diagnosis of GD.[/quote] Outside of your posts in this thread, I've literally never heard of this.[/quote] NP, and I was instructed to carbo load the weekend before my Monday test, which I did happily and willingly.
