[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2227769, member: 506169"] I had a Colonoscopy in January. I only drank water with electrolytes - well to be precise, water, Lo-Salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Because I'm now 'dual fuel' I found this one the easiest of the 11 colonoscopies preps I've done so far as hunger was concerned. Though when I told the nurse I was T2D and had started the fast early (because of a slow system), they were concerned and took my BG. I think it was 5.9 so obviously my liver was still dumping some Glucose, though not as much as the DP's in the ealry days of my Low Carb way of eating. Afterwards I didn't spend time in recovery so milky tea and biscuit and was able to get home quicker.. Previously I've always been hungry and so accepted the tea with milk & sugar (even though I never normally drank it that way) plus as many biscuits as I could get hold of. Note that I like to see what is there because my polyps always need a thinning out (due to a genetic condition), so I only accept the muscle relaxant, not the anaesthetic. [/QUOTE]
