Thanks @phedizzle to be honest it can sometimes be difficult to eat the adequate amount of protein daily to protect your lean body mass. If you are using ketones as your primary fuel source then it doesn’t really matter that much how low your sugar goes. When i do my bosy weight resistance excercises i can manage to get my sugar down to 50 with no issues, the only part of the body that does require sugar is a small part of the brain and thats only about 25g of glucose daily, so can be well supplied by the conversion of protein to glucose.
Yes adrenal and cortisol issues can sometimes take a bit of figuring out and especially when trying to get the glucose under control most people see this in the morning “dawn phenomenon” when people tend to experience this surge in glucose.
