Expert Answer: How does having hypothyroidism affect my weight? Feb 5 1:24pm | By Tara Schmidt (@taraschmidt)Comment receiving replies
I am being tested for hypothyroidism but I have to fast for 8hrs. My blood glucose is always low I have to eat every 2-3 hrs. How do I go about getting an accurate lab blood glucose test when I cannot fast.

Get your blood work done first thing in the morning this way you're assured of a fasting number. I have same problem with low blood sugar and this works best for me. Then after, GO EAT!!!

Have you considered scheduling your labs first thing in the morning right after you wake up? I know fasting throughout the day can be so difficult!
