[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2267366, member: 451727"] Hi Colin, and just remember that once you are in a hypo it is imperative that you take fast acting carbs to get you out of it without worrying about it dropping you out of keto. It's actually a medical emergency as you know of course, so fast action is vital. I think sometimes we focus too much on 'ruining our dietary aims' than anything else but please always have in mind that dealing with a hypo is crucial (especially on a bike :)). Yep, I definitely agree that hypo's are down to too much insulin, not your fault as it is very hard to inject the EXACT amount of insulin at the EXACT right time given that a 'normal' person's pancreas stops and releases insulin constantly when needed. If you are keto and don't wish to take those extra pesky carbs then all I can think to do is reduce the insulin before/during/after a ride!! I don't use a pump so I hope that helps you. x [/QUOTE]
