[QUOTE="smidge, post: 307222, member: 29301"] Hi Andrew333! It is hard, but you do have to find the right balance between BG levels and your weight. If low-carbing means getting your calories from elsewhere (e.g. fat) then that's OK, but if it means not getting enough calories, that's not OK. You need a certain amount of calories to maintain your weight and function properly, so you either have to introduce more calories from a mixture of fat and protein, or you have to increase your carbs and potentially impact your BG. It's just a trade-off we all have to make. If you find that you really cannot get enough calories when low-carbing, you have to increase the carbs a bit and potentially take more/different medication to maintain your BG. Try snacking on nuts and seeds, olives and other high fat foods. Snacking little and often might be the way to reach your compromise. Good luck Smidge [/QUOTE]
