And I thought I was doing well on my low carb diet losing 20 kg (44 lbs) since 23 of June! Congratulations. Blood sugar this morning is 4.8 by the way.

Thanks... I am reasonably familiar with the causes and risks of hypos, having had a good many in the past when on much higher doses of insulin. As I said, I did no exercise this morning. Yesterday (like all days) I did a three mile walk. That normally does not have this effect. My question was...

As I posted elsewhere, I am a Type 2 of long standing (16 years) who went on a LC diet in June and has so far shed 13kg. I was on 36 unites of Lantus and about ten units of Novorapid when I started and two metformin a day. Consultations with the diabetic nurse (who has not objected to my diet)...

I have exactly the same experience. An aged but faithful Accu Chek gives readings which match my experience and the six monthly tests pretty well. The Wavesense Jazz is up there in the clouds. I just took blood sugar measurements on both. Wavesense says I am 7.2 which would be a little higher...
