[QUOTE="LinsT, post: 983330, member: 207753"] Funnily enough I had this exact same problem for the first time today. Driving home from work I started feeling really quite ill - shaky, light headed, headachey. Checked my BG when I got in and it was 3.5 - checked again and got 3.7. I appreciate this is a false hypo (I'm on metformin only) but false or not it felt very uncomfortable and not good while driving. I had eaten a good low carb breakfast and lunch, but I hadn't eaten much fat or any snacks. So, to try stop this happening again I'm planning to take some cheese chunks and peanuts to work tomorrow to have some little snacks between meals to try keep things a little more constant. I'm certainly not planning to increase carb content as I'm positive this will just swing my levels too far up again. [/QUOTE]
