Feeling Exhausted

I'm not doing insulin from 3 days, as accorded with my doctor. Today I felt like I was going to collapse. Ultra tired. I don't know if this is diabetes related, but my BS was normal, 117mg/dl. I feel very unwell now. Did anyone have similar experiences?
 
It could be the low carb diet. How many carbs per day do you eat and what is your diet like?
 
I'm taking about 100-150 grams carbs per day. Anyway in the last days I wasn't on low carb 'cause I wanted to test my reactions (which were good). I thought I may be in Ketosis maybe... I even have a bit of muscolar pain, especially in my legs. Not doing movement or sports since I'm studying for an exam. Maybe only stress?
 
You cannot be in ketosis with these amounts of carbs. Maybe the stress or the recent change in your diet. What if you go back to your previous diet?
 
Are you on any other meds?
 
That's a fair amount of carbs when you're suddenly taken off your insulin for 3 days. Defo not Ketosis....please be careful. I'd get back to the doc if I were you.

I was just doing 2u before dinner and 6u Lantus before bed.
If this feelings go on over the weekend I'll get to the doc.

You may also try resuming the insulin and see what happens. Possibly halving the doses if you want to be on the safe side.
