Message: <blockquote data-quote="Melgar" data-source="post: 2694376" data-attributes="member: 520626">[USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] , [USER=517579]@KennyA[/USER] - I am not trying to preach to the converted here and I know you are both very knowledgeable. It is in the normal range for blood sugars to drop to 3.5 at night for anyone, diabetic or not. It's not a problem when your liver then corrects it. Obviously, it is far more dangerous for those on  insulin or taking bs lowering meds, ref the point of this discussion. It is not normal for anyone if your blood sugars drop to the low 3's and that arrow is pointing straight down and your liver is failing to dump. That's when you need to look at your lifestyle, your none diabetic meds or speak to your Dr for other none diabetic reasons. The simplist explanations are either you, and I am not trying to diagnose you, are exercising a lot and depleting your glucose stores during the daytime or your diet is not sufficient, for you personally, to replenish your glucose stores. Assuming you are not drinking alcohol. [USER=517579]@KennyA[/USER] , I would suggest, as a type 2, if your insulin levels are lower than usual because of your keto diet then, I am suggesting that it is very feasable that your insulin signalling process is being impeded. I know keto is the holy grail for type 2's so I'm not trying to 'diss' keto diets.  I am also assuming that your keto diet means  your Libre blood sugar graph remains reasonably flat with slightly raised peaks after eating ,so it's unlikely to be reactive nightime lows. Or as [USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] says it's a compression low. </blockquote>
