[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 361208, member: 63791"] Hi all, I am a 38 year old guy, I have been T1 diabetic for 12 years. I just joined the forum because I have this specific question to ask: Does anybody else experience low blood-sugars WITHOUT problems? I frequently have series of days where my blood-sugar is below 3.0 on most of my 4 daily measurements. However, I get no confusion, double-vision, headaches or balance problems. I feel completely normal. Has anybody else had experience of anything like this? For all of my time as a T1 I have tried to follow an extreme low-carb diet. When I am sticking to the diet, I get generally good blood-sugars. When I have strayed off the diet, sometimes for a few months, my blood-sugars get worse. Currently I am sticking very well to the diet, and had generally good control but with irritating mysterious high measurements every now&then. In an attempt to try to eliminate these odd high measurements (I really could not explain what was causing them), I added a daily magnesium supplement to my diet. Immediately my blood-sugar levels reduced by about 40%, and these odd high measurements have disappeared (at least, I have not any in the 5 weeks since I added the magnesium). Now my sugar-levels are normal, or below normal, all the time. Has anybody else on a low-carb diet (and/or added magnesium diet) had this experience of low-blood sugars without any problems? I'm reluctant to say that I'm experiencing Hypos but have lost the warning signs - it seems different. If I don't experience ANY noticeable problems then is it still a Hypo? Below are my readings for Morning/Lunch/Evening/Night for a recent series of days. 2.2, 3.1, 2.5, 4.2 2.7, 2.3, 2.7, 2.0 3.1, 1.8, 5.2, 1.8 Thanks for any Info/Suggestions/Hints/Feedback :) Diamond [/QUOTE]
