[QUOTE="Bryce74, post: 1789057"] Lamont, the below 4.0 mmol/L (or 70 mg/dL or less) figure as a definition of hypoglycemia is generally, medically accepted. And yes, glucose meters can be 10-15% off, but that should not change the definition of hypoglycemia. "The forum as a whole advocates lowering carb intake as a healthy option but is open to other ideas that recognise different ways to treat their condition." The forum is mainly for diabetics and for them carohydrates have a different meaning. Too much carbohydrates and their blood sugar will rise and stay high. For people with hypoglycemia it is more important that there aren't spikes in blood sugar. I am not saying that low carb won't work for some people with hypoglycemia, but it simply is not generally recommended. In general a moderate amount of slow carbohydrates is recommended. I feel you cannot base "basic info" for others on your own experience or of other forum members. If you give basic info, you should give info that is generally accepted. [/QUOTE]
