Hubby T2IDD having real low BS

#1

My husband and I started keto on Monday after much research and w our doc’s support. Hubby had a BS of 70 by the first afternoon w his symptoms of being too low. We tried everything we could but couldn’t get it above 80 so at 9:30 pm we did the OJ and pop tarts to be safe. Tuesday same low. He ate cheese and olives and granola. He really wants this to work but frustrated.

He has cut his insulin in half and has contacted his doc. We are looking for stories from others who may have had similar stories for support and encouragement. Thank you!!!

If he’s going keto with Type 2 he should probably cut down his insulin a lot. He simply won’t need it.
I was only on metformin for 3 weeks but stopped that and have used a keto diet to control my Type 2 ever since.
HbA1c 's are now at the low end of normal. It’s almost miraculous.

Thanks, Mark. He cut his insulin in half first day. Today he cut out one of the oral meds and is doing much much better.
