[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2310451, member: 480869"] As well false hypos the other likely possibility is that you aren’t getting g enough electrolytes and are suffering low carb keto flu. Make sure you are drinking enough fluids and replacing good amounts of sodium, magnesium and potassium (supplements if you can’t get enough by way of food). All will help you adapt more quickly and the lack of them can make you feel really quite rubbish. Finally are you also on blood pressure medication? This can also need reassessing and reducing quite quickly when carbs are drastically lowered. Perhaps if you have a home monitor take a reading or two when feeling off for this as well as blood glucose. [/QUOTE]
