Waiting to get my blood taken. Like all of us should do once a year. I had to set my alarm for 11 pm so I could wake up and eat a sandwich. This is because you can fast for too long which causes spikes in your blood.

I looked into all that after TRK pointed that out. Something I hadn't fully understood before.

I never eat breakfast and rarely eat until smoko which is at 10 am. That means I can go 15 hours without eating every day. So recently I read the effects that a sugar spike can have on us. Fatigue and a lower immune system are just two things. Two things that I seem to suffer from. Hmmmm. Yesterday I ate a granola bar at 7 am. I shall continue to eat at least something in the morning from now on.

I mean at the weekend I can go to noon or 1 pm before eating. I'm going to change that silly situation also. The more I learn the less I realise I know.

So, we live and learn and sometimes we learn things very late. Get yah bloods done, especially you TRK !!!

Ooookaaaaaay. Edit to update. Ok maybe ignore all that I said. Well apart from getting annual bloods done. Got talking to the blood letter about all this fasting thing. She doesn't eat until 10 am either. Your body gets used to it she said.

Well as I said earlier, the more I learn the less I realise I know. I know nuffin....

Well it's good to know between two medical professionals we've got equal and opposite advice lol

How was your vampire? Most are good, but I don't love it when you get ones that hurt like crazy. I'll also be getting blood taken Monday morning, fasted. I'm lucky though and can walk to the blood taker from mine in about 2 mins.

Good morning. My Vamp was wonderful. Bit sore and a bit of a bruise but nothing terrible.

Good luck with all your things.
