Low Carb Diet vs. Low Blood Sugar08/08/2005 |
I recently had a cholesterol test taken. The results came back all in the normal range yet had the following note. "Cholesterol looks great. Blood sugars are low, need to repeat test. Please fast before. Recommend smaller frequent meals, also low carb diet." My triglycerides were 108 and the norm is less than 200. I presume that this is the Blood Sugar Level they are refering as low. And I understand that this might alter the results or place concern. But why would it be recommended that I should go on a low carb diet if I already have low blood sugar levels?
I have forwarded your question to a NetWellness Expert who I hope will be able to provide you with an answer. In one to two days, please look for an answer to your question in the NetWellness Expert topic area called Diabetes.
