[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 959022, member: 41816"] Hi, I would agree with [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] Treating a low with carbs is a thorny issue. It is bad for people with reactive hypoglycaemia, but if you are waking up in the morning feeling wobbly, then I doubt if it is that is what is happening (although never say never) I would say that for standard Type 2s and all Type 1s on meds to lower blood glucose, carbs to help a hypo are a good idea, because hypos are dangerous to them. The trick is to judge the amount, and generally the smallest amount possible is a good guide. With Type 2s on diet or diet and just metformin, hypos are rare and the body will usually cope very well without stuffing carbs. My own experience is that I ALWAYS eat too many, my blood glucose shoots up, and I was trying to avoid that... It may be that you are cutting back a bit hard on food, or any one of a number of things. Have a look at this thread (sorry folks, I keep linking to it today) which may give you some ideas of things that can go wrong when you start going low carb.
