Thanks Hellbunny - I may well try that test to see how it responds. What results should I be hoping to avoid? Also, as an update, I took 2 more sets of readings. Pre-dinner last night: 4.3mmol/L 1 hour after: 5.1mmol/L 2 hours after: 4.6mmol/L 1st thing this morning after not eating since...

Interesting. My plan is to try it before dinner, then 2 hours after. Then I'll try again tomorrow morning pre-anything, which should be about an 8 hour fast, then I'll try 2 hours after breakfast. Does porridge with milk and honey sound too carb loaded for a good test breakfast?

Hi everyone. I'm back. I thought I'd update this thread and see if I could get any more responses. I went to the doctors, as discussed originally in this thread. My glucose tests were all normal. HOWEVER, no-one told me I needed to fast before the test. I was told I was fine and that there was...

Thanks for the reply. The more info I have for when I see the doc the better, so will discuss anything suggested here.

Hello all. I'll start by apologising - I'm sure you've had lots of these questions in the past, however I would like to ask a few questions to see what you think. Rest assured I am going to see the doctor, but it's not for another 2 weeks (no free appointments) so want to find out as much info...
