[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 441486, member: 11028"] Not sure why you would need to fast for 14 hours Meg :? A fasting cholesterol check only requires you to fast for 12 hours max, my own surgery say 10 hours is sufficient. I just eat and inject as normal the night before and obviously skip breakfast and any QA insulin, I've not really had many problems except once where I did go low before bed, if you like you could reduce your evening QA by a unit or two to avoid a hypo and to make sure you keep the appointment.
