[QUOTE="jonathan183, post: 2481811, member: 491092"] Sorry this does not match my experience or other advice on basal tests I have encountered. Eating anything affects my blood glucose (at least down to very low carb), and drinking coffee even with double cream also affects my blood glucose levels. So my suggestion would be check blood glucose in range, no rapid acting insulin within the last 4 hours, water only fast (you can add salt to the water if needed), check for rise or fall in blood glucose. Try to avoid other things which you are aware affect your blood glucose over that time period e.g. exercise. Break the fast in time for any adjustments before going to sleep - probably more important for OP as they are struggling with hypos. As we know there are lots of things that can affect blood glucose and insulin impact upon it ... I prefer to eliminate the potential for food to contribute to this during a basal test. [/QUOTE]
