I am type 2 but take both insulin and metformin. I am trying the 8 week blood sugar diet (only on 3rd day), I reduced my lantus in prepapration and last night, I reduced my humalog to 1/3 of what I would normally, then I went hypo 2 hours after. I had exercised beforehand.
I ate a banana and then woke up at 2am hypo again - so I settled for a tracker muesli bar (completely not in the diet). I have clearly failed the diet and gone above the calorie limit. Tonight, I will try no humalog when I eat and see. I guess I am still adjusting.
Before you ask, yes, I have seen the doctor who is delighted with me to start a proper diet. They advised me that I have enough experience in self-dosage and to be careful and document everything. I am seeing that clearly the diet is reduces sugar levels very very quickly.
I just wanted to know what other people do when their sugar levels drops on the low carb diet.
