You don't have diabetes, is that right?  I'm not sure what you mean when you say "only getting hypo about once a month".  A hypoglycaemic episode is nothing to aim for. If you are non-diabetic trying low carb for weight loss then you are unlikely to experience a genuine hypo at all. Your liver should be capable of adding enough glucose to prevent that.  Soem people do have "false hypos" where blood sugar falls from a high level to a less high level. It never goes properly low, but the body sometimes reacts to the fall even though there's plenty of glucose available. Normally T2 people experience hypos only if they are on some sort of glucose-lowering medication (eg insulin), and/or blood glucose gets lowered by some other factor - eg alcohol.  T1 is a completely different story and not for me to tell.</blockquote>
