[QUOTE="crashinduction, post: 853982, member: 165735"] This is a really interesting discussion although I feel that a few people are relying on pseudoscience and potentially subjecting themselves to potential long term harm. Hypo's are known to lead to a long term decline in cognitive function - more so the rapid drop type of hypo. This is because the major energy substrate of the brain is glucose. Deprive it of this and it will cause fits, but more importantly, lots of hypos over the years causes chronic damage to the brain. Further to this, unfortunately Diabetes affects the micro circulation - peripheral nerves, small coronary blood vessels, retinal vessels and renal (etc,etc) Hence the common diabetic complications. A big concern of mine is the long term risk of high ketone levels on the renal circulation associated with these diets, plus the significantly increased risk of Ischaemic heart disease associated with raised lipid profiles. Are low BM's worth the risk of dying early from Nephropathy or Cardiac events? (and being too cerebrally challenged to notice) ? One final note is that I have to say Spiker speaks a lot of sense.
