[QUOTE="AnnInDenmark, post: 1455413, member: 102501"] This morning I tested myself at home. I did everything as if I was going to have the test at the lab, but did [B]not[/B] have a high carb meal yesterday. Total for the day was 10g carbs. Fasted for 10 hours, did the routine as if I was going to get out, even pretended to drive a car for half an hour.:wacky: Liver gave me a boost, so before the test bs was 5.4 Drank an energy drink containing 75g sugar within the required 5 minutes. Then sat down, as the lab will tell me to do, and hardly moved for the rest of the time. 30 minutes: 11.8 60 minutes: 12.6 90 minutes: 14.3 120 minutes: 10.1 I felt increasingly hungry during all this time, which might, or might not, have been the reason I could not concentrate after an hour, and felt a bit shaky after two hours. I then immediately had my usual breakfast of bacon, eggs and a small tomato, which stopped both brain fog and shakiness quite fast. I am not bouncing with energy, but feel okay. Any thoughts?
