I am having this tommorow, was meant to 2 months ago but have kept putting it off but am determined to go as I have a morning off.

I have lost the advice sheet, is it the case that I cant eat from midnight?

It has to be at least 8 hours since you last ate......................so midnight sounds right to me.

Good luck with the test.

Yes Caz I did this a couple of years ago.....I did not eat from midnight then went at 9 am for the test......then back two hours later for blood test....

Thanks Kitty and Sally, is it just a blood test?

Caz its usually nothing from midnight.

It's just a blood test, they may take 3 vials from you though. Nothing to worry about.

Once you've had the test you can have that well-earned cuppa.

Why have you left it so long? It was ages ago that you were asking about your symptoms! *tsk*

Smack my botty right now TW!! lol

Ive had more symptoms, perspiring more, sore on foot that wont heal, uti, extremely tired, so know I have to put me first tommorow,

Thanks, Stray, Linsey and Hazel,

Mac, good luck, love,

If you don't Caz, you will have me to answer to.

I'll spell it out for you. If you have diabetes, and the symptoms certainly look that way, and you ignore it as you have been, you are dicing with DEATH! It is a life-threatening condition unless it is controlled.

The sore on your toe should be checked out too, asap. Its probably a chilblain, diabetics are prone to them. It needs treating.

Don't get me cross! LOL

Will do TW, Ive worried about everyone else, i nedd pushing , like lots of others to think of me.

Ta mac, I get shaky and vague if i havent eaten for a few hours,

Hi Caz

Hubby's fasting tests for diabetes (and his last one was only a few weeks ago) are nothing except water after 10pm. Hope you get on ok.

Just water from 10pm.

Hey Caz hope everything goes ok, the fasting test I had for my cholestorel check was a nightmare because they didn't do the blood tests until 11am at the uni surgery...never been so hungry!

Looks like I've caught strep throat from my lovely nephew who was coughing everywhere so may well be off to the docs tomorrow too. My throat is killing me so we'll have to keep fingers crossed for monday.

Hi Caz - my son been insulin diabetic since three and half (now 41) - please keep your appointment and let us all know the results of your tests - if it is diabetes once you are 'in control' you will feel so much better. love Jx

will be thinking of you caz

bout time you thought of yourself,
its hard work isnt it being selfish, lol
you know what i mean,
we spend our time worrying about others,
its you time now
be brave
have a sticky plaster for being good tomorrow,

Arghhhhhh just seen this...what's the cure??????

Thanks all, have been lol!!

Poor you SS, Will had it three times last term, and several of us caught it, its yuk.

Mac, yep please for the cure!!
