[QUOTE="Walking Girl, post: 2139017, member: 510059"] Well, as always, not a doctor, but no. Not eating should not cause low blood sugar - at least not low enough to cause real problems. At most, tired, sluggish, etc. I’ve done 5-day water only fasts (not recommended it; it’s been done strictly under doctor supervision), and my BG stayed low, but normal. If not eating, without any meds to confuse the issue, caused severe lows then people not eating 8-15 hours overnight would be a problem. But it’s clearly not. Only testing with your blood glucose meter will tell you how to eat to get your BG under control. Most people on this site seem to go low carb high fat (LCHF), which generally means 50g of carbs per day or less. [/QUOTE]
