Do you have hypoglycemia during workout on a keto diet ?

Hi guys,

I used to have some hypoglycemia during my workout being keto (I'm prediabetic not type 2 or type 1).

Do you know if I should take some carbs pre-workout or if this is gonna make it worst?

Thanks for your help.

How low are you talking about? How do those hypo's make you feel? Are you on any meds?

I feel dizzy and that I need to stop the effort. When I continue I feel the panic coming in... no I do not take any meds

Next time you need to test to see what your blood sugar level is at, it's possible your dizziness is something else entirely that needs looking into.
In general hypo's are unlikely (not impossible but definitely unlikely) for people who are not on blood sugar lowering meds.

What should be my blood sugar levels then? I just bought a meter to test it.

Thanks for your help.
