[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 527591, member: 33342"] This is good advice. As always with this discussion, we need to be careful by what we mean by "hypo". If you mean "a temporary blood dip that takes your BG down below 4mmol/l and then quickly recovers" then I agree. If you mean a T1 "BG gets low and doesn't recover" then I don't agree. Strictly speaking "hypos" are a symptom of medication, not of diet. You shouldn't really get proper hypos on a low-carb diet (unless you are taking insulin or some medication that promotes insulin production). Even if you starve yourself for a few days (no carbs, no fat, no protein) you don't typically go hypoglycemic (because of ketosis). [/QUOTE]
