[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1002312, member: 196898"] I note that you are running to a very strict LC target of <25 gm/day. My DCN advised me to aim for 120-150 gm/day, so I can be more relaxed about things. there is another thread on the forum dedicated to hypo's, and there are quite a few reporting having hypo's: these tend to be diet related, but not LC specifically. There are nondiabetics reporting in it too. Certainly the use of hypoglycemic drugs is usually a factor but not always. Metformin alone is generally recognised as being low risk, I still advise taking the hypo awareness course before doing a LC diet. I nearly lost a non diabetic friend who was doing the Atkins diet, and who went into ketogenic coma by skipping a meal. [/QUOTE]
