That is why you are feeling ill, and not been in control, plenty of symptoms.Going low carb is not easy, it won't make you feel better for well over a week if not more, it may make it easier if you can fast for a couple of days as you start, that is if you can fast.For me, it doesn't take much above normal levels to trigger the insulin overshoot which causes the hypo. So I stay in ketosis as much as possible and it works for me. Others do have different intolerance to carbs. Dependent on it like me, I have lactose intolerance since childhood. But it is the quick spike that triggers the reaction.I do hope that helps and answers some of your questions.best wishes. And I like or can't help writing long posts!</blockquote>
