Morning everyone just after a quick sense check. I am doing a Basel test today targeting the afternoon section 12-6.

Had my breakfast this morning so just checking that is it for meals now until 6? Been a while since I have done one of these but if I recall the last meal should be 4 hours before?
 
Great thanks @Juicyj. Now to figure out how I am not going to eat till 7 tonight
 
Yes it's a bit of a push @Hattonma but worth it to see what's going on, good luck
 
Quick question can you drink coffee with milk or should you abstain from that as well
 
Evening everyone. So after a few opinions. My Basel testing started at 9.7 and finished at 7.6 after 5 hours.

I will do another test but wondered what thoughts were on whether this would require an adjustment. I believe a drop of 2 is prob the limit?
 
@Hattonma . That doesn't seem a bad basal test.
What did the 5 hrs consist of?
Was the 5 hr period as normal as you would usually expect?
 
Thanks for the reply @therower. Yes it was a normal afternoon at work. Everything apart from eating lol.
 
@Hattonma . It seems a positive basal test. Take into consideration meter reading variances and being at work, the drop is easily explainable.
Personally I'd be happy with it. Like you I miss the eating food bit.
