Just wondering if this is normal.</b>


Why are you taking gynema sylvestre? This herb can lower blood insulin levels and if you are already low carbing then you might be suffering the side effect of low blood sugar. Since you are exercising for two hours 5 days a week you might need to either quit taking the Gynema Sylvestre or increase your carbs.

Also there is a warning involved with people taking chromium picolinate and low blood sugar too.

If it persists you need to see a doctor.
