I think there are some inaccuracies in the "basics" and it would be good if you could change it:
You write: "anything below 3.5 is a hypo"
---->Actually a hypo is below 4, not 3.5.
Moreover, some people have symptoms in the (low) normal range.
You also write: "a low carbohydrate intake is usually recommended"
----> That's not true. Usually a moderate carbohydrate intake is recommended, with slightly more fat and proteins. And more complex carbohydrates and less simple carbohydrates like sugars.
Of course a low carbohydrate diet can work for people with RH, but it is not especially recommended.
Also: "Flour of all grains are to be avoided"
That's not correct. For example, whole wheat bread combined with a fat/protein source (cheese for example) is slower digested and doesn't necessarily cause problems.
Hope you can update this.
