[QUOTE="smidge, post: 854352, member: 29301"] Hey crashinduction! Are you [USER=102150]@Spiker[/USER]'s glove puppet? LOL. Only kidding. I can't speak for or against much of what you've said, but I must respond to your assertion that low carb diets (or are you talking specifically about ketogenic diets?) lead to a raised lipid profile and heart disease - my lipid profile is significantly improved since cutting out the carbs. I don't follow a ketogenic diet but I low-carb to around 50g carb a day and stay just out of ketosis so my ketones are not raised. I don't really add much fat to my diet, but I don't avoid fat. I'm happy with my BG dipping down to around 3.5 and I don't see how that can possibly cause cognitive impairment as it is actually normal blood glucose levels. Finally, it is the microvascular damage that we're trying to reduce our risk of by low carbing to keep our BG as close to normal as we safely can. I haven't read back over the topic, but I don't think anyone on here was suggesting hypos are a good thing. Smidge [/QUOTE]
