A member asked:
If i ate a pop tart at 3am & had a breath test with glucose at 11 30 am. would that throw off the test. false positive.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe true positive: You ate a big sugar load 8 hours before the test. That may have produced a false positive or you may really be positive. Generally patients should not eat for 8 hours before the test, but a big sugar load 8 hours before was a bad decision.
