What I meant is not to drink tea or coffee before testing.
I have found that if I have a cup of tea before testing (up to an hour beforehand) it raises my BG levels.
If I were to have a cup of tea first thing in the morning, then test, my BG levels would definitely be higher.
Diagnosed T2 in sept 2013, BS levels 20+. BMI 22, age 58. Requested a GAD test in November, came back very high 2,000+, doc said I would be T1 very soon, but presently LADA, and managing to keep 99% of my BS readings one hour after meals under 7.8 without insulin or any medication.
