Too many times I have been thwarted during my fasting to attain Ketosis due to low blood sugar. When I am at or below 75 BS, I feel anxious and hungry. What to eat? How does a diabetic maintain their BS at 100 while fasting? This has to be a very common problem, that I have yet to find addressed.

Why do you think you need to maintain at 100?
I often go to the low 60’s when fasting …it’s one of the reasons to fast.
Are you just not used to being lower than 100?

Thanks Mark, Is that you, with Jason? OMG.
You are blessed to be among the low bs group. Beginning at 85 bs, I am agitated, anxious, nervous, lack of ability to concentrate, quick to anger. In my 8th year of type II with low pancreas insulin secretion.
But you see the question remains, what to do about low bs while fasting and trying to get into ketosis.

Eat some meat/protein… cheese might be a good contender?
