[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1491831, member: 94045"] If you are following a sufficiently low carb diet then you do risk hypos from your medication. Rather than eating to your medication (as you are doing at the moment), why not discuss with your doctor about reducing your medication? It is your Gliclazide that is making you hypo (although 5s are not hypos, they are perfectly normal readings) It works by stimulating your pancreas to produce extra insulin, and the less carbs you eat the less insulin you need. Too much insulin = hypo territory. Low carb members on insulin injections reduce their insulin doses accordingly. [/QUOTE]
