Hi there

I have started a hypoglycaemia diet, cut out sugars and bad carbs, I eat every 2-3 hours. No caffeine, alcohol, dont smoke, not on any meds. I try to have generally more protein than carbs. I have been on this for 5 days, and so far it doesnt seem so bad beside my craving for sauces! I miss you ketchup ...

My question is about sleep. I do get hypos in the day, which the diet seems to help with. I really get the hypos bad at night, waking up heart pounding, sweaty sheets, anxiety, headache etc, and especially in the morning. Ive tried (so far) having various combos before bed - either just protein, or protein some carbs, or just carbs. Seems that I still wake up every 2 hours no matter which, and if I dont eat when that happens each subsequent awakening gets more severe in symptoms. Im a bit worried about always eating in the night, as I dont want to start gaining weight having lost 18kg over the last year.

Is this something that will improve the longer I am on the diet, eg as my body gets used to life without sugar and carbs? I read that it can take a very long time to really feel better, and that its possible I will feel worse in the first two weeks. Any help anyone can give would make me very happy!
