[QUOTE="iHs, post: 441559, member: 8799"] If a blood test is being done within a hospital pathology dept, then getting an appointment might be difficult as many departments just work on take a ticket and wait your turn and depending on how many people are waiting, the test might take 1-3hrs to do and so for insulin dependant diabetics its thought that fasting is not necessary unless a doctor states it at the top of the blood test form in bold letters and also explains what is required to the patient. For diabetics using twice daily insulins and not mdi, blood glucose levels could go very high without insulin and food. [/QUOTE]
