[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 311743, member: 28827"] Firstly fasting for a short period for a type I isn't at all dangerous if your on basal/bolus and your background insulin is correct. You should be able to go periods of time without food and your blood glucose should remain stable. On a mixtard this might prove a little more complicated and advise should be sort. Reference cholesterol tests I didn't think that fasting had much effect at all save perhaps the triggs? For HbA1c fasting is not necessary... however they also tend to check blood glucose at the same time so a high reading after 12 hours of fasting is more cause for concern. [/QUOTE]
