I have been on the low carb diet for a while now and I have really low glucose, 2-2.07 this is really happening far too often. So much so that I am thinking of giving it up. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Maddie.

Hi Maddie, I am using a pump, and after a lot of trial and error I've reduced my basal insulin by about a third. This does fluctuate a little depending on exercise and food intake. I would definitely try reducing the basal insulin a little as InResponse suggests, you can always adjust using small correction doses as needed, just test very frequently.
