[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 527594, member: 102150"] This is one of the biggest challenges for me in low carbing. I experience hypos as I switch over. The hypo fear response and carb eating reaction is so ingrained after 20 years of being diabetic (and it's instinctive in humans anyway). It is a great effort of will to imagine the "other side" that Brunneria mentions, and instead of having a "carb panic", just take a very small measured dose of carbs and a small reduction in insulin going forward. It takes a lot of belief and discipline to get through to the other side. And, every time you "carb panic", you are pushed back to the beginning, to square one. [/QUOTE]
