have you ever wondered what triggered your diabetes ? i was working shifts for twenty five years and think that caused my diabetes im type 2 insulin controlled 4 times daily you should have a snack st least or you could have a hypo on your way home whic h is against the law however if your just on metformin you could be ok i just dont understand why you need to fast
 

jack im type 2 on insulin 4x daily if im below 4 i know im going to have a hypo so its just not type 1's that get them someone who is not diabetic could also get a hypo if their reading is below 4 too
 
agreed, if you are on insulin, it's the same rules as a T1. a T2 not taking medication that can cause a hypo, can not eat for a week and not get a hypo. the body will naturally adjust the BG level on and above it's liver dump trigger level. I'ts how people go on hunger strikes and fasting
 
yes i also by law have to check my blood before i drive i also have a 3 year licence i dont fast anymore before a blood test as i nearly passed out but every time i go for one they always say have you been fasting?i had a heart attack last year they said at the hospital it was because of my diabetes .
my picture is of me in caribean some 45 years ago
