People here often say to eat carbs for 3 days before the insulin and GTT testing. I don't understand the rationale. Don't I want to know what my system is doing while I'm controlling it? Won't it be around the same always if i don't control myself going into the test? The unregulated levels aren't what's affecting me. The control level I maintain is what determines my overall health. So, why not test my controlled level?
