The only carbs I’ve been having are from sugar-free chocolate, once daily. I don’t know if I’m technically on a keto diet, actually (44g carbs per chocolate bar).

Otherwise, my diet is void of starches and carbs from grain/flour/wheat.

As of late, I’ve been eating a lot of healthy fats: mostly, fatty/oily beef stew. Other than chocolate and eggs, my diet is mostly red meat and chicken.

What concerns me is that my blood sugar levels sometimes drop to 55 - 65 during the day. I’ll know to check my blood sugar because my heart will start racing.

I was under the belief that keto was a healthy diet and good for insulin resistance (my main reason for doing it). But now I’m worried that the fats are bringing my blood sugar down too low (if, in fact, that’s what healthy fats do to blood sugar).

Maybe my understanding of ketosis is wrong... maybe my understanding of blood glucose is wrong as well... Because I assumed that low blood glucose was okay because ketone fuel eventually makes for the role that glucose normally plays??

Someone correct me!

Also, I’m 37F, 139lbs for reference.

Thanks! When it comes to insulin resistance and diabetes health, I’ve found this sub to be far useful than any other.
