    Cholesterol ?

    I tried my own form of low carb, less bread etc more fat and my cholesterol went from 4.6 to 5.8 in 4 months, I did lose 4lbs though. So if on the full blown low carb diet, is higher cholesterol likely.

    Hypo

    Since being on blood thinners I am more prone to hypos. Always prepared now with jelly babies and slow release biscuits. If I feel a little shacky or faint I pop a few jelly babies and then pick up. No idea why blood thinners effect it.

    Low blood sugar

    Blood sugar crashes.

    Taking the carbs out triggered the problem I think in that it didn't take much to drop me into hypo mode. The DN said my HbA1c results indicated hypo probability. Think your right though, I do need to flatten out the graph, maybe have a few carbs but not in any large amounts and mix with...

    Blood sugar crashes.

    Just checked, last year it was 5.5%, this June 3% or 39mmols, cant quite read the writing. I suspect the latter.

    Blood sugar crashes.

    The lows are pretty random, but as you if I deliberately have something that raise BS quickly, it will drop quickly too, problem being it carries on dropping to such low levels. Last HbA1c was too low my DN said and this was reason for hypos. I cant really predict a hypo though, irrespective of...

    Blood sugar crashes.

    Not on any meds for diabetes as yet, wondered maybe if I need some to stabalise the peaks and troughs.

    Blood sugar crashes.

    Thanks for replies. I didn't reduce my fats as diet is pretty restricted anyway, about 1200 calories. (I cant exercise), so not a lot of room to change, but take your point.
