Is there a set fasting time cos I've seen 8 to 10 hrs mentioned here and there so was my 12 hours too long?
So the readings for my fasting over the past couple of days have me confused. From 7.2 up to 8.3 yesterday and today 8.1 Now I have had cold but saw my level start to come down, but then yesterday it went up? So last night I decided i'd not eat a thing after 6.30 pm until my morning FBG 12 hours later, so to my surprise only a drop of 0.2 to the day before. Why is this happening when I am watching carbs? And besides surely these have gotten out my system by 12 hours later and my levels should have come down a bit more than they have? Or am I being too over critical and looking at this too deeply?
