Question 2HR glucose tolerance test

Well, I scheduled it for tomorrow. Might as well get 'er done. They told me to fast for 8 hours prior, so I scheduled it for first thing in the morning.

The thing is, I haven't talked to my doctor. He doesn't know I'm on Atkins. I just called the office and they told me not to worry about it, but to mention it before they begin the test tomorrow. Ok, I can do that.

What I remember from the last time I had this test is very little, and I was very pregnant at the time (so there were other discomforts). What I remember from my former Atkins life is that a dose of high-carb eating would cause me some serious GI unpleasantness the rest of that day and maybe even the next. For anyone who has had this test while on a low carb plan, how bad was it? I'm freaking myself out a bit! Still, I figured it was better to do it and be done with it than to torture myself.
