[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2381977, member: 517579"] Welcome to the forum. This is normal for me - I'm also on 'keto' around 20g carbs/day. Elsewhere on here you will read that this is linked to "false hypos" and the dawn phenomenon. BG drops overnight, liver dumps a lot of glucose into the system, adrenaline rises, and you get the racing heart, sweats, nightmares etc. just as you wake. It's not pleasant. I have found that having a very small amount of carb (only talking ~5g here) just before bed seems to help, but it could be coincidence as I've not really been able to control for other factors. If you're eating at keto levels you may well need additional electrolytes, many people take a supplement. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
