Because you have to fast, no other reason. And I like food.
My dsn sent me 5 seperate basal tests that need to be done before my clinic appointment on Monday. I have 5 days to complete, so thats at least 1 a day.
The overnight was ok as i didnt want to eat
But today, yowser did the 12pm - 6pm test. Cant eat for previous two hours, but if I had something just before 10 then fast acting would still be working? So consequently didnt have any food only water (as even milk in tea etc affects me quite a lot), from 7am until 6pm. And I was working too.
I wish they had given me more time, only 5 days and working every flippin day too.
I know some of you may say you only need to avoid carbs, but everything affects my numbers I have to bolus for veg/salad etc. So to get true test I have to fast.
sorry just needed a rant..........good news the numbers were steady on both tests so far................bad news I have just had fish and chips and bar of dairy milk whole nut and feel a bit quiffy now, ah well 😱
