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.

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,

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

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,

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*

Hi Caz,
i have to have a fasting test each year
just to make sure my liver is ok and cholestrol.
it's a blood test

Nothing only sips of water, no cuppa in the morning, sorry! Good luck

Thanks Kitty and Sally, is it just a blood 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....

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

Good luck with the test.

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?
