[QUOTE="frash_00, post: 2381637, member: 540484"] Day two of low carb and I have not (yet) had a blood sugar crash. I did have an appointment with an Endocronologist. The main tangible results of the meeting was that he will order some blood work, and has asked me to scrupulously document numbers from a meter when my Dexcom G6 numbers are below 70. So, apparently, when my numbers are low and I'm panicked, I need to go wash my hands, dry my hands, and steadily use my glucometer. That was frustrating but I understand wanting more trusted data. I do have a few occasions where my numbers were low on the glucometer, but he wants more data. He said he was hesitant to order any of the tests that require me to come to a hospital, like a glucose drink test, because they are full due to COVID. I had not considered that. He did tell me to stop eating low carb, essentially so I can cause it to happen again so I can get the data. Very frustrating. He spent so much time telling me about the non-blood-sugar causes of passing out, so he's going to refer me to a cardiologist and further tests with a neurologist. [/QUOTE]
