Help with basal testing time slots

[thewestiesmum]

Hi,
I'm looking for some help for doing 4 time slots for my basal testing.
I usually have my meals around
9am/10am - breakfast 1pm/2pm - lunch
6pm/7pm - teatime
10pm/11pm - bedtime
I know that tests need to start 4 hours after the last meal and bolus.
The time slots need to be for morning, afternoon, evening and overnight. Also which meals would I miss for each time slot?

Skip breakfast, and as you've fasted overnight (unless hypo), keep testing till lunch time. Another day have breakfast and 4 hours later you can start your basal testing for that time. There aren't any rigid time slots, it's just a matter of covering 24 hours over a few days. Sometimes if my bloods are stable, I'll start at midnight, another time 2am if I've eaten later in the evening etc.
