You should be able to manage by only taking your basal insulin, or are you on mixed insulin?

I'm guessing that's Humulin M3 or 70/30. It's probably best then to call the clinic for advice. If they're taking you in the day before, then they can control your insulin levels with a drip.
 
thank you Robert ive just been talking with my clinic on the day before the test I have to keep checking my blood and if I go to low I can drink a sugary drink
