Question
Can eating candied yams within 24 hours of a glucose test cause a false reading?
Answer
It's hard to say from the information you've provided.
How much
did you eat...
when
did you eat them (time of
day)?
What type of glucose test was done?
If you don't have diabetes and your pancreas is functioning properly (i.e. producing insulin appropriately), your blood glucose level should stay
within the normal range regardless of the fact you ate candied yams.
