I am aware this post might sound like a humblebrag, but it is definitely not meant to be, so I will try to word it carefully...
T2, diag 4 months ago, no medication, went relatively low-carb (100-120g/day), rapid drop in weight and hba1c (38 last time).
Recently returned to HIIT after a few weeks away, as I know I still have more fat to turn to muscle. Did some exercise 90 mins after my now-typical evening meal, relatively low carb but still some carb nonetheless.
Tested after exercise as I was feeling a bit light headed (now 2 hours after meal). 4.0 mmol/l. That's low for me, and after a quick google, seemingly getting close to hypo? Is that right?
I'm torn between two options:
1. Eat more carbs before exercise so I won't go so low, or
2. Keto - eat no more carbs in the hope of training my body to burn fat instead of sugar.
Anyone got any similar experiences or advice?
