[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1926280, member: 401801"] One more thing: Why do you need to avoid hypo's? Are you on meds that can cause them, because if you're on BG lowering medication a low carb diet will cause hypo's. It's one or the other, both won't work.

If you eat every 4 hours when there's no medication that makes it absolutely nessesary, you're basically giving your pancreas not a single moment's rest. And it does need a break every now and again. Just checking. Because at the moment I may be advising a low carb diet to someone who isn't capable of being on one due to their meds... [/QUOTE]
