[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2204039, member: 41816"] Just because you still believe you are capable of functioning does NOT mean that you actually are. I would be deeply concerned if you are operating any machinery or making [B][I]any[/I][/B] decisions in that state. There is much discussion on whether being in nutritional ketosis (which is, of course, a very different thing from ketoacidosis) can [B][I]to some extent[/I][/B] compensate for low blood glucose, since the brain can draw on ketones. But that isn’t relevant here, since you haven’t mentioned a ketogenic way of eating. So you have lost hypo awareness, and believe that you can function well in that state. I think that is cause for significant concern. [/QUOTE]
