You should avoid getting low--tabs will affect the lab results.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to run a tiny bit higher tonight.

this is one of the times where pumping works GREAT and is helpful ...you can set a temporary basal ...since this is not to your disposal run a bit higher as Dave _ and YOU suggested .I have been there done that ...cancelling my test, till I caught on .
Hope you are OK !!

Everything worked out ok, but sugar went up after they drew the blood. Is that normal?

my bg's tend to rise during the morning that I get a fasting blood test. Missing breakfast can cause bg's to rise--no bolus given, plus DP at work.
