Anyway, I deal with low blood sugar events often enough that I didn't think I could make it a whole day without eating so I hadn't attempted it yet. However, on this Sunday, I woke up and my blood sugar was fine and I was running late for my meeting anyway so I thought, why not skip breakfast and see how it goes from there.
As you can see from the chart, I calibrated my glucose monitor in the morning at a little over 100 and just paid close attention throughout the day. By about noon, I was starting to drop below 100 so I turned off my insulin pump just to be cautious. The funniest part was that I kept a pack of fruit snacks in my shirt pocket all day just to be ready the instant I thought I needed them. It went over in my head a dozen times how I would abort the mission and then explain to all the other people at church, who were still fasting, why I was eating right in front of them. Alas, my imaginations were never fulfilled.
I checked my blood sugar again at 4:30 and it was starting to get a little low at 70. I took that as a good time to break the fast and start eating. It was great. I had all the normal hunger pains that usually accompany fasting but I didn't have any Diabetes related problems. It turned out to be just a normal Fast Sunday.
