[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1859127, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=474498]@kiwi gal[/USER], The trouble is that few doctors are likely to have experienced low blood sugar themselves. (And for those that are male I wonder how some of them know so much about childbirth)!!! If my blood sugar gets low enough it messes with the functioning of my brain and at face value I could be thought to be a real nutter (one that is cured by several jelly beans - a strange 'psychiatric illness' indeed)!!! and I have heard stories of diabetics suffering low blood sugar and being jailed as the police thought they were drunk ! Building up a bank of BSL data with the Libre for presentation to your GP(s) sounds like a great idea, but please read up threads on this site about the Libre, as it's accuracy at lower BSL levels is a bit suspect, according to some. They have tended to re-check low levels say, less than 4 mmol/l, with a finger prick test, always allowing that the finger prick test is going to be +/- 15%. As those who post on the RH forum on this site say, low or no carb diets seem to work best for them. But for you to document your BSLs looking for the 'elusive' low blood sugars my guess is that you would need to include some carbs in the meals (just a thought, a GP could advise on this) and of course comparing low carb to higher carb meals and the resulting BSLs could be quite informative as well. Best luck with your sleuthing !! [/QUOTE]
