    Will this throw me off course?

    I just finished my 2 weeks of induction (again), and will probably stay on it for a bit. I have to go for a fasting insulin and glucose test today. I've been putting it off b/c I am afraid drinking that sugary stuff will throw me out of ketosis.

    Anyone have any experience with this?

    Do you think you can postpone that test?? In Atkins Diabetes Revoution, it's recommended to increase carbs to about 100 per day (healthy carbs coming from whole grains, fruits, vegetables---not donuts, cookies and cakes) for a few days before the oral glucose test in order to get a more accurate result.

      I've been putting it off for two weeks. My Dr appt is Monday and he needs to have the results by then.

      By the way, I am not diabetic. This is for a different kind of work-up. Do you think it will skew the results?

        Yes it could. It could make you look diabetic, because the stuff they make you drink is pure glucose (with some flavoring). So it could possibly exaggerate your insulin response.

            Ok, just spoke to my Dr,and he says it won't skew the results. This test is completely independant...

                I just got back, and FYI, if anyones interested, a fasting glucose and insulin test is different from a glucose tolerence test. I didn't have to drink anything. I was so relieved!!! No sugar! YAY!! LOL

                  Oh D'oh! I thought you meant the oral glucose test! You're right that is totally different than the serum insulin and serum glucose test.
