Stress echocardiogram

[DiabeticDi]

Type 1. ..Has anyone had one of these?

As it's deliberately increasing your heart rate as exercise does, how do I judge what to do before I.e. carbs/insulin?..

Can you wear a sensor?

I will ask but just wondered if anyone knew.

Thanks!

I haven't had a test like that, but there is no reason at all why you can't wear a sensor during a cardiagram.

As what to do before, it's impossible to tell because we all react differently to stress and exercise, so keeping a very close eye on your CGM seems to be the best bet to me.

Can you contact them to ask how they expect you to deal with your diabetes during the test, and to tell them how you expect them to give you room to deal with your diabetes?

How long will this test take?

@DiabeticDi I just googled this procedure in relation to Type ones. It does say to contact Dr and liaise re insulin requirements.

About 45 mins apparently.
