[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1568818, member: 6467"] Just out of interest, when you run out of energy have you tested your BG to confirm that you are hypo? Two theories have been mentioned; you still have glucose in the blood but not enough insulin to get it into your muscles, or your insulin is clearing the glucose too quickly and you aren't taking enough new glucose in. To me this has two opposite strategies; decrease or increase insulin. So you need to be pretty sure which problem you have. From my reading endurance athletes can do better when keto adapted because there is a continuous supply of fuel. [/QUOTE]
