Hi george2gg,

You are doing low carbs high fat .. The low carb on its on is not to good, it seems to need the high fat to make it work.

Agree with Enclave, if you cut down on carbs you need to up the fat. High protein can raise bg too, so fat is the best.

It is common to feel a bit ill when first going low carb. Treat this with more salt and water.
