How is the blood glucose changes while fasting? - A comparison between a diabetic and a non-diabetic

... / - ' and this is how I will write in the table when I fast and take the tests. If sugar is traced it will be marked by the following grade: 1/10%, 1/4%, 1/2%, 1% and >2% (mmol/l), and the ketons will be graded by: 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8 and 16 mmol/l.

Here are some are the tools:

* The glucometer.

* The test-strip for the glucometer. The yellow field in the middle

is where I put the blood, and the indicator is on the backside of the strip.

* The Keto-Diastix packet

* The Keto-Diastix test-strip

A normal day

I will here present a table and a diagram of a 'normal' day. This is going to be used for comparison with the test-results that I will get during the experiments.

98-11-22:

Time: Glucose: Food / Activity / Insulin:

08.00 2.8 mmol/l 11 U, breakfast

09.00 4.3 mmol/l

10.00 4.7 mmol/l

11.00 3.2 mmol/l

12.15 3.7mmol/l

12.30 11 U, lunch

13.40 3.5 mmol/l

14.00 3.5 mmol/l A Coke (not diet!!!) - no insulin

14.30 5.1 mmol/l

15.00 3.6 mmol/l

16.00 5.3 mmol/lI do not know if I can say that this is a normal day, that my glucose level is like this all the time. I have got a feeling that this is too low, but on the other hand the level is probably this steady most days, and that is the most important. Note that the glucose did not rise when I had a Coke. This is probably because I take so much intermediate-acting insulin.

First experiment

without insulin

99-01-08:

Time: Glucose: Urine test: Food / Activity / Insulin:

18.00 - 20.00 Very intensive sport-activity. Ate much before and during.

Didn't feel well afterward, probably because drops and rises in glucose.

22.00 High glucose. Took ex ...
