Glucose Test for pregnancy

So I'm apparently dense, my OB had me do a glucose test last week and they just called me with the results, it was 146 and normal is 130. I had no idea that I was drinking a high sugar drink...it explains why I had issues afterwards though. This is my first baby and I've never had this kind of testing done so I guess that can somewhat explain my ignorance.

I started researching after they told me the results and realize now I shouldn't have done the test for many reasons, is is possible that it showed that high only because of the drink/my surgery? Could it be false? They want me to come in for a 3 hour fasting and do more of it, but I want to go a different route. I don't think they understand how gastric surgery effects our bodies and how we process things differently now.

What has your doctors said? Did you have a false high?

Can't speak for your operation, but it's standard knowledge in the low carb doc world that if you've been eating a low carb diet, that you must ingest a minimum of 150g of carbs for 3-4 days prior to testing in order for a GTT to be indicative of anything. Otherwise it will skew high and show out of range. Are you taking in fewer than 100g of carbs each day?

No, I had no idea about that and I definitely don't eat that many carbs a day, especially not before this test. I didn't even know I was going to be taking it, I had switched doctors and it was my first visit and they sprung it on me.
