[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1638593, member: 94045"] A big clap from me ..... you are doing brilliantly, as those FBG levels show. I applaud you. :) As for your blood tests, I won't advise you when to have them but will say that if they include cholesterol you do need to fast (water only) overnight with a morning test. The HbA1c doesn't require fasting, but as cholesterol will be measured at the same time, you will need to fast. (Your surgery will probably say it isn't necessary as this is the line the NHS is taking, but that isn't wise. It is only to save waiting times for blood tests because they can use the afternoons as well as the mornings) [/QUOTE]
