Wife has low blood sugar

My wife has low blood sugar, and is following my keto diet.
She has already had one episode that required some honey to get her blood sugar back up in the normal range. Any advice would be deeply appreciated. TYVM!

Is she a type 2 diabetic and taking insulin?

No

It’s not unusual for people following a keto lifestyle to have lower than “normal” blood sugar as the parameters are set by glucose burners. What symptoms prompted you to think there was a problem?

dizziness and weakness

So no blood test? An electrolyte imbalance would be more likely than hypoglycemia, especially in the early stages of keto.
