    I am a long time sufferer of PCOS, recently my Dr explained that I was pre-diabetic,insulin resistant and suffering from metabolic syndrome. He said that the only way I would lose weight is to cut carbs. I started a ketogenic diet of 20 grams or less of carbs per day. I have lost 8 lbs in 10 days but have experienced several bouts of severely low blood sugar (45) and have had to eat glucose tablets to get it up. How can I avoid low blood sugar while on a keto diet?

    If you have severely low blood sugar, and you are not taking medication that you shouldn't be taking with a keto diet, how are you pre-diabetic?

    Even diabetics can have low blood sugar moments. It's a roller coaster ride of highs and lows and the pancreas just can't keep up.

    T1 diabetics for sure, as the insulin has to be carefully monitored.
