[QUOTE="Krystyna23040, post: 2178927, member: 374421"] Yes, your memory is in good working order. I was on insulin, Novarapid after all meals and snacks and long acting Lantus at night. I absolutely understand your frustration with LC/Keto. It has been a very bumpy ride for me as well. Initially low carb around 50g started April 2016. Didn't do anything with my blood sugars. Dropped to under 40g in September 2016 which started a scary roller coaster of hypos. On the advice of my DN stopped all insulin. I was so happy. This state of affairs lasted until December 2016 when spiralling blood sugars mean't that I was back on Lantus. Very fed up. Actually I wasn't fed up - I was in despair. Early 2017 found this site and went keto - max 20g carbs. Then followed a short time of roller coaster blood sugars and on and off Lantus until I was eventually off all insulin again. Happy with my blood sugars until December 2018 when they started rising again. Not enough to go back on insulin - but a little higher than I would like fasting and after meal blood sugars. I had kept 20g or under every day without exception because I absolutely do not want to go back on insulin. So very puzzling. Then in November 2019 suddenly started with these ultra low blood sugars. Don't know why they are suddenly ultra low as I have only dropped carbs a tiny bit to around 17g a day and that's not every day as sometimes I do 20g. It makes no sense at all. It seems, maybe, that there has been a lot of healing of the body going on undetected by me. Maybe it just takes a lot of time to heal the body when it has had high blood sugars for a long time. Maybe also the body was healing other conditions and it took priority - I did have IBS symptoms which have gradually improved since 2016 and now is absolutely gone. Perhaps healing the IBS took priority over sorting out my pancreas and liver. Who knows - and there is absolutely no way of finding out what is going on. It's a bit like a magical mystery tour.
