Just had a tsp of almond butter and I feel soo much better. It felt like the wind had been knocked out of my sails. Maybe I hadn't eaten enough or I was experiencing the Atkins flu like symptoms.

Glad you got relief - I was about to suggest a handful of nuts - same difference, eh? I think I went low-carb gradually enough that I never experienced flu-like symptoms, but I'd be willing to bet that's what ails you. I hope it subsides quickly.

Isn't it incredible to not be hungry?!!

i hear you. more often then you think, i have to remember to eat. crazy that my old self never missed a meal! LOL

have you thought about trying glucose tabs?

Shanny, I DON'T do anything gradually. I am a black and white type of person. No grey areas.So, I gave up potatoes, bread, sugar, rice , pasta flour, oats, etc... all at once.Yes, NOT being hungry is amazing!!
Those Back Pages...I do have Glucotabs but NOT sure how many to take. Not sure what to do over night. How do you know how much insulin to take If you are already LOW ?
Thank you both for your responses.
