Fasting 8 hrs vs 12 hrs ?

Checking your morning fasting BG, 8 hrs or 12 hrs will give you accurate results. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Mine's about 10 hours fasting, so in the general zone for fbg levels for near enough close, enough accuracy.

Mine is about 9 hrs, but if I wait for 12 hrs my BG goes up.

Buy a cgm even just one and monitor your readings, it will show the best and worste times to take a reading, the times after fasting or sleep can vary, also light exercise will bring the readings down, heavy will send the up, foods like corned beef will plumit high readings due to the sodium nitrite content. Cgm is the only sure way to understand peaks and troughs.

Through fasting 14-16 hours and eating lowish carb, 2 main meals and one snack I’ve managed to get down to a stable HbA1c of 43. GP very pleased, however I’ll be tweaking diet further in the hope of achieving remission.
