[QUOTE="LauraC27, post: 1056339, member: 205657"] If you are fasting diabetic you can tell the nurse when you get there and usually you jump the que as a priority at blood tests. I would suggest going as early in the morning as you can for the blood test to save you worrying about hypo's. Is it a drop in service? But technically as long as you aren't injecting insulin for eating as you won't be eating it shouldn't be too much of a problem.. but if you do have a hypo, then obviously you have to treat it regardless of the blood test requirements. My blood test was non fasting though.. i had my first one a few weeks ago since being diagnosed in July 2015. To be on the safe side, don't just take my advice as i'm new to this too! Ring the GP or diabetic clinic if you have any questions. :) [/QUOTE]
