[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2292157, member: 480869"] Having looked it up it seems unusual to be on both. The glimiperide can cause hypos so if the dosage is set for your current high carb way of eating and you quickly reduce carbs a hypo is a real possibility. Two options. One is to be extra vigilant with your testing before and after meals and be ready to treat any hypos quickly. The other is to speak with your dr and either reduce or stop this medication before you start keto/low carb so that risk is removed. Most drs are willing to go along with trial periods closely monitored if you are serious. Ultimately the decision about how you treat your diabetes is yours, with their advice. [/QUOTE]
