[QUOTE="Rowan.Element, post: 1598576, member: 425758"] Hi Everyone, I am a T2 diabetic, diagnosed 14 years ago, I am not on any medication (haven't been on anything for about a year) and have been low carbing over the last few months to control blood sugars. It has been a bit of a struggle, I kept starting and stopping, getting confused with all the conflicting info I was reading, but finally settled on a moderate low carb, moderate protein, healthy fat. I have been very excited with the lower blood sugar readings I am getting with self testing, and yesterday after a hydrotherapy session, I tested myself when I got home about half hour later and my reading was 4.7! That's the first time I have been below 5, and I was so excited I put a post on Facebook, and got lots of positive comments, but quite a few negative ones about hypos...I did not think it was possible to have a hypo if not on insulin, but apparently it is? I would think however it would be very unlikely? I am still getting readings in the mornings of 6 - 8...but that's still an improvement from my pre-low carb diet. I would appreciate hearing about anybody else's experience in this area...thanks :) [/QUOTE]
