Hi
I’m experiencing dips in BG below 4 during the day and night (I’m T2 and controlling through diet). I’m fairly newly diagnosed so I don’t know if I’m having a hypo or not. Reading about the symptoms of one, the only thing I feel is a little tired. I use a Libre 2 and at first I just thought that it was reading on the low side, but for the last few days I have been using a finger prick test to validate and while the Libre is always slightly lower, the finger prick also shows a low reading).
I started proper keto (<20g of carbs per day) about 3 weeks ago (before that I was just in low carbs <50g per day). I eat two meals a day and have been feeling good on it.
My gut feel is to eat some more carbs to try and get control of the levels, but I wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar. Clearly, I don’t want to come out of ketosis, but more stable BG levels are obviously more important.
Thanks for any help.
