[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1303306, member: 41816"] Is this the only time it has happened? Do you know if you are consistently in ketosis? For me, in ketosis, hypos feel very different. I am still aware of them, but they feel very different. Also, with a low reading like that, maybe test again? Could have been a rogue reading, or a rogue strip. I appreciate that my situation (reactive hypoglycaemia) is probably very different from yours, but [B][I]for me[/I][/B], taking 19g of fast acting carbs before rapidly burning them off would be more likely to [B][I]provoke[/I][/B] a hypo than if I ate a decent low carb meal of fat, protein and veg 3 hours before the workout. The meal would give me a lovely long, slow reliable burn, and my bg would drop a bit, then run steady for the workout - in ketosis, using fat and maybe protein as fuel. Mind you, the type of exercise will also be a factor. [/QUOTE]
