Special diet before GTT or not?

[belfie]

hey everyone,
thanks for the replies. I found out today that my 1 hr result was apparently 'positive' and they'll probably be sending me to an endocrinologist... so while I don't know if that's a definitive GD result or not yet, sounds like at the very least I'm looking at impaired glucose tolerance. And I got the impression they won't be making me re-take the test... so there's a silver lining in every storm cloud I guess. But the whole thing is a bit of a bummer.

I've read some of the literature on here about whether GD really should be considered a "true" disease per se... and I think I'm just confused now. Oh well. Plus to add to it, I've already got other dietary restrictions which just make it a bit of a pain in the proverbial to put it mildly.

So I'm just going to wallow in self-pity for a bit, trot out the socially acceptable "positive" party line in public... and vent in here. Thanks again.

Oh no . I am sorry to hear that the results weren't good, but I am relieved for you that you don't have to go through that again. Best of luck with the endocrinologist.

I failed the first 1hr test with my OB it was supposed to be under 7.8, & my reading was 9.4

So i am booked in to have the 2hr GTT in the next few weeks something i am NOT looking foward to.

And yep i was given a diet sheet for 3 days prior to the test.
