Hi Frank, I think you are missing the point here. It's a healthy none diabetic rabbit, just like if you tested on a healthy none diabetic person, their normal bg would be around 4.8mmol/lt (86)
by fasting for 24hrs there would be no additional effect from diet,

Ask one of your none diabetic friends to fast for 24hrs, test their bg before and after and see how much variation there is.

The only thing is I don't know what a healthy rabbits bg should be?
