[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1709440, member: 41816"] Good luck with the appointment tonight! If you hypo after removing carbs from your diet, then I suggest that you consider what foods you are now eating. If you (anyone) is eating a well formulated low carb or ketogenic diet, then there should not be hypos. The trick is to replace the carbs with nutritious protein and fat foods that provide slow release energy. Of course, I need to qualify that statement since there are a few medical conditions and medications that will cause hypos whatever you eat, but RH isn’t such a condition. This is why you need proper testing by a doc and a home meter. I suggest that you check your blood glucose immediately you experience any symptoms as well as testing before and after each meal. It is the only way to discover if you are experiencing real or false hypos (the false ones are when our blood glucose drops to normal when we are used to it running higher). If you have drastically reduced carbs in a short time, you may also be experiencing ‘keto flu’. This is a short term thing. Easy to read up on on the Internet, and there are several ways to reduce the symptoms. [/QUOTE]
