Not sure what are you on about guys. For last 30 days my only carbs came from cucumbers and olives. Rest was butter, meat and eggs. I will be surprised if I get 20 carbs per day. Based on what you say I should be dead from hypoglycemia already

when you get yourself healthier using keto , paleo or carnivore diet and some fasting, the weight does come down and stay down. once you get fat adapted you don't tend to suffer the effects of hypoglycemia anymore. great video dr sten

I'm on week 4 of extreme keto and am suffering with major hypoglycemia. I went straight from high carb to almost no carbs in a few days. I don't want to eat more carbs but I suspect my adrenaline system is broken from massive overuse. I'm 42 and spent about 28 of those years in a state of high anxiety and depression. Keto has helped me so much, I want to stick with it but may need to re introduce a few things I previously cut out like dairy, tomatoes and peppers.

I've noticed far more energy since then without changing anything. It just took me a while to adjust. I still get sluggish around lunchtime in work but that might be related to being bored and stressed as I do not suffer from it when I'm at home on weekends at all! I've finally weighed myself and have lost a lot of weight so perhaps losing too much in less than 1 month contributed to feeling so weak on occasion.

So now I understand what is happening to me! I never had my blood sugar tank before I went on keto, and I've been at a loss as to what to do about it. Thank you so much, Dr. Sten! I didn't know what to do, and it is ever so easy to lose weight on keto, since it takes all of my cravings away, so I didn't want to go off of keto. But you explained it so well to me. I will eat more low glycemic cooked carbs and hope by eating more carbs this blood sugar tanking (after I eat a meal) will go away. I sure do appreciate your taking the time to make this video.

I got hypoglycemia , I got vitamins and medicines also add carbs to my keto (banana, raw oat and papaya also some root veggies). I am feeling good again now. Still continue Keto and will adjust accordingly when feeling not right!

Thank you doc, i have a friend with hypoglycemia in hospital. She went in as a T2 diabetic for an operation and her blood sugar dropped really fast.

Through glucose testing and ketone testing, i've learned a lot about what foods to eat and how much proportion. These videos have been really helpful. Thank you!

Low energy Many metabolic changes need to take place in your body in order for you to switch from using fat for fuel instead of glucose. And while this process unfolds, it's common to experience periods of fatigue, weakness, and brain fog as your body reserves energy for the aforementioned metabolic processes

Hello Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much for all this infos! I have adrenal fatigue... so I think it would be safer to start moderate/low carb, about 50g carbs from veggies and some starch and to lower very very slow and give the body the time to learn burning fat for fuel, and then slowly go keto

Great video and information. Your approach to disseminating knowledge is powerful to the extent that the audience will hardly miss whatever information is being put forward.

Thank you for this. I'm not diabetic but I feel pretty sure I'm hypoglycemic. I was in the store just now & my heart started racing & I broke out in a cold sweat. I thought I was going to pass out. I struggled to get to my car. I was living on a very high carb processed food diet. I went cold turkey & I have been faithfully following keto & intermittent fasting & have lost 20# for about 6 weeks. I have had episodes like this even while eating processed foods if i didnt eat often enough. I was planning on fasting today & and tomorrow, but after watching your video, I see that's not a good idea. I need to find a dr who will listen to me. My dr is basically a pill pusher. Because my stats are all good, he just tells me to keep up the good work.

Thank you, this was very useful. It explains what is happening to me exactly. I will add back some good carbs and drop them slowly. I went to drinking alcohol every day to strick keto. Bad idea. I thought I developed diabetes.

I am so thankful for your lectures. I run full 3day fasting successfully, but before that i suffered from hypoglycemia. all this time i hardly believed that i will not be able to skip certain eating times, but now i see that connection much clearly. it is already 2nd week of OMPD with Keto, and i feel much more energetic, also weight is going down what i couldn't move for even a kg for many years. Before that i was already familiar with water meanings so this part was easy for me. It was risky, but i felt i have to try such combination and i feel free. Thank you!

Now 4 months later December 2021 I have lost 47 pounds. 2 days ago I started fainting. I have fainted 3 times in the last two days. 3 months ago. September. I had a physical. All was good but insulin was a touch high and blood pressure was a touch high. Yeah I know. I’m calling my dr. And getting my blood work rechecked. Just want to let people know if you don’t do this by the numbers stuff can happen. I’m learning more everyday. We’ll see what happens from here.

Love your channel. Appreciate your knowledge and service

Doctor, I really loved this video. I am type 2 diabetic and I have been slowly going keto for the last year. I still have sweet potato once awhile. The other day I was working out with my trainer and I noticed I was really shaky and had to drink a random grapefruit juice my husband had on his side of the fridge. I have never felt myself crash so hard. Could you possibly do a video or give any advice on how to avoid hypoglycemia and the dreaded crash. You touched on it a bit in this ☝️ should I be glucose monitoring. My last bloodwork panel showed my type 2 was finally stabilized but my cholesterol was still high. Could this be a factor for my crash? Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, thats my case. On keto for 3 weeks now and experienced ketosis twice so far, each time for around 10h. But mostly feeling like crap and barely can function normally. Yeah, but I have liver issues so maybe that is why. If I do just a small amount of carbs - everything goes back to normal. But still trying not to going back to carbs - ketosis is mind blowing.

Thanks so much. This has been my issue past 40 years

Great content. Thank you!

Love your videos, you are so clear, a great teacher! I was diagnosed with type 2 in September A1c 17!! Went on low carb and meds. Made excellent progress. A1c in Jan 6.3. Came off all meds in early December. Bloods in 5s - 7s IF 16:8 going well. Today had low carb lunch as usual, this evening BG 3.9. What is happening? why so low when used to low carb and not on meds? Can I trust what I'm doing? Blood went up after I ate. Would love your opinion, thanks

Hi Sten, I have a question. I have been clean Keto for 5 months as all going well. My blood Glucose has been coming down incrementally - at the start it was regularly 110-130 fasting so pre diabetic / diabetic levels although I was never diagnosed. Fasting levels are now generally 90-100 so much better. Last night however I decided to check my glucose 1 hour after eating and it came back as 76. I am not sure if this is something I need to worry about or whether it is just my body taking time to return to normality. It seems that I am still getting an insulin spike after eating to deal with carbs that I am no longer eating? Does that sound feasible to you? My meal last night was 1.7g of carb and 14.9g total carbs for the day. I would appreciate your thoughts on this - Thank you 🙏

I was on clean keto diet with IF , on 4th month my body system crashed because after I passed 3rd month I started doing morning walk for 2 hrs and swim for 1-2 hrs. I made a mistake for not fueling enough before and after endurance workout! Also I forgot the rule of keto for not doing endurance exercise while long hrs dry fast! I was rushed to ER with heart palpitations, very weak body almost faint, whole body I felt like dying from heart attack. Doctor did ECG for my heart with excellent result! My heart health is perfect! They put needles and have two bottles of medicines/vitamins into my body! After 2 hrs treatments in the hospital. I am now recovering with vitamins, some digestion pills, introducing more carbs to my keto ( fruits like banana, papaya, raw oat and green vegetables). Still I am continuing my keto but if I am into my workout I prepare my body with fuels also post WO! I feel much better now.

This is a great video. Seems i need to do some more work in order to make slower changes. Ive had a high carb, but natural carb diet. Gotta roll this back.

Never checked my blood glucose levels before, but I recently got a meter to check ketone levels and since it can check BG levels as well I thought I might as well check both. I freaked out when my BG reading was 73! As I understand it that is on the verge of hypoglycemia, and that wasn't even fast. I ate dinner about 5 hours previously though to be fair I haven't really had more than about 2g carbs all day. If that. I'm going to need to keep a close eye on it.

This is such a great and informative video. I have learned so much on a scientific level since water fasting. On day 10 of 40.

My sugar dropped to about 60 today and i felt fine but it still shocked me. I've done keto and IF before and done great.

What about while breastfeeding and/or pregnant? I was keto (mostly carnivore) before my first pregnancy (for around 6 months) and had no issues with hypoglycemia, even after abruptly cutting out carbs, but I added carbs back in when morning sickness struck, and I was averse to fat and protein. Since that pregnancy, I've tried countless times to get back on keto (through two more pregnancies and breastfeeding each baby without stop), but each time I get down to around 20g carbs (even after slowly easing out of carbs), I end up with severe hypoglycemia (with vomiting, extremely blurry vision, extreme weakness, almost passing out, etc.). Is it possible for breastfeeding to make 20g simply too low? Or is it more likely that I'm still not easing out of carbs slowly enough? I really want to be keto for my health, but I feel like I'm failing when I can't seem to stick to 20g carbs or fewer.

I have been doing low carb, then keto for five months, and suddenly, I am having hypoglycemia - nothing has changed in five months (except I lost alot of weight). I wonder what's going on? 10 years ago, I used to have hypoglycemia, and I got rid of it by following the paleo diet. It worked for weight loss and "cured" my hypoglycemia. It was great to be free of that, and not have to carry snacks everywhere. However, I did alot of recreational eating since the pandemic, gained weight, ate poorly - went back to low carb, then keto, lost weight and it was great, but now, for the first time in years, I have that hypoglycemia back!

Hi, (I have a question about weight and blood sugar levels) I started doing the keto diet while weighing 74 kg as a supporting person for someone else also on the diet... in the first 5 months I lost 12 KGs, and am worried that I'm now under weight. I'm trying to eat a bunch, and use resistance training to try to build muscle. I feel great most of the time. But there are times where I have low blood sugar, between 3 and 4.9 mmol/l. I then eat or drink a bit of sugar and take about an hour or two to get to a functioning level. I don't want to take sugar though. Amy ideas?

This might be me after almost one year of low carb I have severe chronic hypoglycemia symptoms that no doctor could ever explain to me. I need to sit all day and get exhausted after very short walks. I have heavy chronic disbyosis, dead teeth’s, knee pain, my liver might be so weak due to the toxins from the bacterias that the liver can’t regulate the sugar levels and I get stressed out due to too much cortisol, I have literally all the symptoms of hypoglycemia, just a few steps before going to the hospital. Ate two potatoes this evening and already feel better and have less cravings. I hope adding starches will ease my hypoglycemia long term and that I can one day solve my dental and digestion issues. Wish me luck. Would be so nice to have a doctor like him where I live.

Josh, you probably need to work on fixing disbyosis first before you can tackle hypoglycemia.

This may well explain my tachycardia on day 5 of my keto diet, the same day my ketone strips were showing a large jump in ketones. I assumed the keto diet was putting my body under too much stress and the tachy was being caused by cortisol.

My glucose was 41mgdl and I felt fine!

As I have some worries about future Alzheimer development, I have with great interest studied Professor Dale Bredesen's protocol which seems to give some hope about slowing down and even reverse the dementia. As a part of the protocol he recommends a mild keto-diet, underlining its importance to counteracting the insulin resistance. To start my fight against Alzheimer I have therefore the last month changed to a keto-diet and I have only seen very positive consequences and I feel great. My weight has also decreased from 82 kg to 77 kg - (I am 72 years old and 175 cm tall), so I think that is OK - even if it was not my motivation for changing to keton fuel for my cells. Now one question: When I try to push hard - mostly when I swim - I feel weaker and my head can start turning around a bit. For short term efforts can it be better to give the body a glucose shock before you start? Is sugar a more instant energy source, which can help you in the startup? On the other hand you must explain to me why, for really long term high effort sports - like 90 km skiing in the Swedish Vasaloppet - the serve sweet blueberry soup to the runners? Excuse me for this long and tedious question.

Dr ekberg, should we eat until satiated? I end up around 2,500 calories if I don’t restrict myself. Is that a problem? Keto + IF = gaining weight for me. Pls help!

I started KETO back in 2012 and stayed that way for a good while. But when stress in life gets to be too high, I will resort to comfort foods like ice cream/carbs. So my poor body had to keep going back and forth, adjusting when I'd fall off the wagon. I just came off such a time and went back to carnivore, which is good to stop the carb cravings, but for me it isn't sustainable especially with weight training. I started feeling shaky..... I knew it was my blood sugar, so I was eating about 1/2 apple before working out. Still didn't feel super but I figured it was b/c I was, once again, transitioning. Yesterday I was in a rush & just took my Perfect Amino drink w/some C powder..... a couple hours later while on the road I just ate 2 of my beef sticks. When I got home I felt REALLY shaky so took my blood and I was at 68. I immediately ate the rest of the apple, drank some organic heavy whipping cream mixed with soda water & a little stevia drops and laid down for a bit. It stabilized but it made me begin more research and I know I've got to start at a slower pace, which this video confirms..... AND stop with the up and downs with carbs. Thanks so much for this video. It really did explain a lot and confirmed my takeaway !

Once you are in ketosis, how low can your blood sugar go before you need to worrie?

This makes so much sense! I have had low blood sugar the last 9 months (it started in pregnancy) Now that I am keto, it still drops! Interesting enough, I found carrots help this issue

Carrots are full of sugar so I would think so. It knocks you out of keto if you eat too much. Why do you think they are sweet?

Hello i need to know last year i done proper keto for a few months and i experienced no fainting whatsoever, this year this month or two i’ve had 4 random experiences of near collapsing, my doctor said it may be low blood sugar, can u please tell me then is it a possibility that did i develop hypoglycaemia ? Another thing i should mention is that this year on low carb diet i have cut down my daily calories more than when i dieted last year, so could this be another reason for these faint experiences? Thank you

Hello Dr. Ekberg, Thank you for the wonderful nutritional education. I am 52 and eating a keto diet/IF and just started measuring my blood glucose and ketone levels, ketones were .09 - 1.5 and 81-86 glucose in the mornings. I decided to do a prolonged fast ( I have done a 10 day about a year ago, and a 5 day a few months ago without a problem, but no meter) At 34 hours into fast (morning) readings were 67 glucose, 2.0 ketones; 48 hours into the fast at 10:00 p.m. my glucose reading was 52, with a ketone of 4.8. My question is - is this okay? I realize this is low blood sugar, but since my ketones went up - providing an alternate fuel source - I am hoping this is not dangerous. Feeling tired, but that is usual for me on day 2 of a fast. My mom had hypoglycemia so, just a little worried, but would like to continue with fast if I can safely. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Michelle

how do you measure your ketones and glucose? what tools are you using?

@ukmark9211

I get the exact same as you. my glucose was 3.8mmol/l (68.4mg/dl), ketones 1.8 It seems that when my ketone are very high, my glucose drops. A few weeks ago my Ketones were above 8 but I dont know how far above because the Keto Mojo only goes up to 8.0. I didn't think to check my glucose at the time.

If your blood glucose gets low, the right thing is to eat. Follow Dr Boz. She makes a lot of sense

That helps some I guess. I started keto about 6 months ago for both type II and weight/blood pressure. Lost 60 lbs but suddenly stopped losing the weight and would like to drop another 20. My glucose isn't a problem normally now. I eat very few carbs, closer to 0 than 20 per day. My normal glucose all my life has been at 100 after fasting 12 hours. Now it's more in the 90's. Problem is I was fasting a little over a day about a week ago with glucose running in the 80's until it bombed to 66. I was instantly nauseated and dizzy to the point of fear of falling out. That was not expected. I am definitely in ketosis and expected the ketones to be feeding my brain. Obviously not. Go figure..... Kinda lost at the moment. No way this means I'm thinking of stopping keto. Far too many gains I've experienced to back up now. Not to mention the 60 lb loss and I'm not gaining an ounce since I froze. Just wondering how to proceed from here.......

Thank you Cyndi for letting me know. We were in a hurry on this one.

Thanks, today was my 6th day of Keto, but tonight was about to lose consciousness, had checked blood pressure and blood sugar , blood pressure was normal but blood sugar was 62 mg/dl, so I ate sugar, had no choice

buy glucose pills for emergency instead of sugar.

Loved this one.. after years of bad lifestyle and poor food choices especially sugar , I stayed a week with no sugar than tried keto with intermittent fasting 24h 1 meal a day, after 3 days I felt weak, dizzy and almost fainted.. good thing that I stood down and had a glucose tablet and some sugar and carbs.. now I know I need to take it slower!

So...my situation is that I once had low blood sugar, and many episodes indicating such (shakiness, weakness, brain fog, etc.), but NOW I have been struggling with elevated blood pressure (was high, but only reaches elevated last two weeks), and it's the worst feeling I have ever felt. I often feel like I could check out of here at any time, yet here I am. Haha. I have been fasting and such and doing Keto, but my research led me to discover that low blood sugar could actually cause HPB, which I thought was weird to switch from one to the other. Now I'm confused about what would be safe for me to do at this point. What should someone in my case do ?

What does alcohol do in deep keto? I always get shaky the day after drinking scotch on keto. Should I eat carbs to recover from alcohol?

Could you also do a video on reactive hypoglycemia? When intermittent fasting 16-8 I'm often experiencing lowered blood glucose after eating in the afternoon, and it makes me feel fatigued and sluggish after eating. Have I become too insulin sensitive? Am I eating food that causes the insulin to spike without increasing blood glucose at all? I have never been overweight or insulin resistant, I have just been eating gradually more and more low carb over the years as a preventative measure. Lately I have also started intermittent fasting and eating two meals a day. I typically eat lunch around 2-3 in the afternoon and dinner around 7-8 in the evening. Now I'm considering extending my fast to a 20-4 pattern and eating nothing before dinner, just to avoid that feeling of low energy level after lunch.... Update: I was still hanging on to a few of the old carbs when I had this problem. Now I have been completely keto for the last 6 months or so, and I have gradually had less problems with reactive hypoglycemia during this time. I guess it just takes a while to get properly adapted...

If hypoglycemic after eating, insulin is high. The only explanation is insulin is high all the time, when you say it goes low without eating. That is hyperinsulinemia if not insulin resistance. This video is what you explined 🤗

Yes, the quality of the carbs could be the problem. If it's processed bread, pasta, high glycemic index foods/fruits or smoothies, it's too much to be digested in a short period of time and pancreas releases too much insulin... makes us RH'ers too tired. Eat a lot of veggies, 7-10 cups spread over the 2 meals, eggs, low fat meats, healthy fats such as nuts, seeds and Avocados, low glycemic fruit like berries. I find when I do those things, and if I have whole wheat bread, minimize my bread carbs to one piece, I have a better time with it (up to 20 net carbs/ meal), it helps.

Go strait carnivore. Chicken and fish season salt and garlic. Thats it. Try it.

I watched because I am insulin resistant type 2 diabetics, and working to lower blood sugar levels as well as cholesterol. Wondering what is a bad or dangerously low blood sugar number. I feel fine but my blood sugars are 49. What is unsafe?

My Hba1c was ideal at 4.8 , but I had bad arthritis pain , tried a low carb no carb mostly meat . My pain was gone ! I was using stevia in my coffee everyday and found out it causes hypoglycemia if youre doing a diet like that . Dang it ! Just cant win ☹️

Does breastfeeding suppress glucagon? I was doing fine for a while, but suddenly I am struggling with this because I’m loosing so much sugar in my breastmilk it’s like my body can’t keep up. It’s there still an underlying health issue or does breastfeeding alone keep me from being able to process & convert enough fat?

Low blood sugar and intermittent fasting with keto. Good idea or not?

Sir im doing keto for 2 months i can't get into sunny climate or stand in sunlight for 5 minutes fbs is 68 what will br my problem

Thank you for the info, I'm trying to go slow. I have reactive hypoglycemia, and its getting better. I can fast longer and I'm more stable. But when If I try to workout my blood sugar can crash from even a short workout. And a fasting workout is better, workouts after a meal are more likely to make my blood sugar drop. Any info for me? Anything helps, been dealing with this for a while
