Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Firstly the error allowance on B meters is +- 15% so you can only rely on approximate values and trends.Secondly you can't control your liver dumps exercise, or just moving around, lack of sleep, stress, infection, illness, medication, in all around 40 different things can affect them.I only do fasts over 24hr when I need to for a colonoscopy, normally I eat 1 or 2 meals per day (Time Restricted Eating). But when I do the nurses always seem to panic when I say I'm a Type 2 diabetic and say I have fasted for over 48hrs. They are OK once they see my BG reading which are always in the high 5's.I'm aware that some people in the forum post much lower FBG figures, but we are all different, so perhaps 5.2 is about as low as your liver will allow you to go - there is nothing wrong with that!</blockquote>
