You've simply switched from one technique for controlling you're bg to another and then back again.Don't forget that even on a ketogenic diet it's possible to put on weight if you're consuming more energy than you're body is using. Being in ketosis means that you're utilising fat for energy. But that fat may solely be coming from the food that you're eating rather than from you're stored body fat.Have you done any testing to establish whether you're getting into ketosis in the first place? Worrying about kicking yourself out of ketosis when you're treating a hypo might be a moot point. If you're finger pricking anyway then I'd suggest you also used a ketone meter. The GlucoRx HCT is on Amazon for £16 and a box of ten test strips is £17. So for £33 you can gain knowledge of what's happening in your body and you'll be able to assess how long it's taking you to get back into ketosis.</blockquote>
