[QUOTE="Sue777, post: 1797288, member: 474617"] So I've been eating keto for a month now, before that I was eating keto for 5 months but then fell out of ketosis and stayed out for about 2 weeks. In the past 10 days or so I have had 3 really bad reactive hypo crashes (or at least that's what I think they are) and I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong so I can stop them from happening. I know last night I had a fat bomb dessert made with Swerve (erythritol) and thinking back to the other two episodes I may have had one the night before those, too. Obviously I'm going to stop eating those and see if I can stop having these but it doesn't make sense because from everything I've read, that's the safest artificial sweetener regarding insulin responses! Then again, everyone's chemistry is different, so maybe I'm one of the unlucky ones that can't eat that? Even though "studies" show that they don't cause BG spikes, do some bodies still react just from the taste of sweetness? The mind is a powerful thing, perhaps my tastebuds are telling my body to send in the insulin? Sorry, second question: is there a TEST for reactive hypo? I test my blood before, during and after these episodes and they're always "normal" but I've been having these most of my life and always seemed to be sugar/carb related. Low carb/keto should be my best bet but right now it's not doing me any favors, either. :( Sue [/QUOTE]
