Hi guys. I am new here and have already had some amazing answers to my first thread. As some of you may be aware I am trying to bring my BG down to below 7 for a pre employment medical on Wednesday this week. I have bought a BG monitor and with the use of very low carbs and brisk walking at teatime I have succeeded in getting it down to between 5.8 - 6.8 over a three day period. However, the 6.8 was this morning after a through noght fast period of about 10 hours. I am a bit confused as to the higher reading after a fast period.

Do I take it that a fasting period will actually give me a higher reading?

My medical is at 3.15pm tomorrow. I have to produce a fasting sample at this time. How should I plan this to keep it down? I am worried that if I fast it will actually go up.
