    Well, for me I would just die a horribly painful death. I have low blood sugar, I need my slow release carbs to stay alive and avoid going into shock. Really the only "low carb" I follow is low quick release carbs, things that spike your blood sugar and are linked to heart disease.

    I treated my reactive hypoglycaemia with a very low carb diet. When glucose is not my primary fuel, I no longer get the shakes, cold sweats, lower BP or racing heart. Sometimes, really cutting back can help too. But if you found another way that works for you so you no longer have symptoms, that's great.

    I get shaky and have headaches. I also get tired and lethargic. I am better with a balance of macros.
