[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 471017, member: 23580"] Instead of having a fasting day, split the day into 3 separate chunks and fast for one of those chunks at a time. For example, if you are testing your background dose during the morning skip breakfast and have no carbs for a 4 or 5 hour period. When testing during the afternoon, have breakfast as normal but skip lunch and again have no carbs for 4 or 5 hours during the afternoon. For the evening, have lunch but skip dinner etc. You can still have a snack before bed if you need one. During each period of fasting test your blood every hour to see what's happening. If you go hypo during this time then you must treat it and abandon the test. Adjust your back ground with advice from your dsn and retest another day. Only once you know your background is correct can you work out your bolus/short-acting doses. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
