Yes you can
Thank you.
If you are doing the finger prick test make sure you do some star jumps ⭐️ before or take a hot shower... I had difficultly with my blood congealing too quickly. But the result did come back fine.

Yes - do. You do not want to be dehydrated. But you don't want to drink three litres!
Thank you. I’ve had a glass. Also I’m following advice and not eating. Will this make me look more hypo on results? I used to be on 175mcg of levo but at the moment I’m on 150 and feel better but have the feeling I’m under medicated.
