[QUOTE="Mr Whippy, post: 149034, member: 28538"] Thanks for the input. I've now done two testing periods of 24 hrs measuring at least once per hour, and another one of around 20 hours. (not on consecutive days though !) With such regular testing there's not much danger of a major hypo coming on without you knowing about it, obviously you break the fast if it looks like it's going to go much below 4.5. I had plenty of swings in BG, after each test I made a few changes and now I'm getting a fair bit less variability in fasting sugars but there's still some way to go before I get it bang on. However, now I reckon I'm getting fairly close to where I should be and there's not so much urgency so I think I'll start splitting the day down into smaller chunks as previously advised. On the plus side due to the fasting my weight has dropped by 6lbs in just over a week :D Thanks again - Dave. [/QUOTE]
