Eating LC already helps to bring you blood insulin level down you just need to be careful that you don't lower your blood sugar too much.

I did that several years ago when I was on a low fat diet, and I wasn't eating enough carbs. On my way to work I felt really disoriented, started getting cold sweats and had to pull off to the side of the road.

When I finally got to work, I tested my blood sugar level it was 35, normal is 75-120. I worked in a pharmacy and was able to grab some glucose tablets off the shelf and eat a few. I felt better within an hour, but it was very scarey.

I didn't mean to alarm you, I just wanted you to be aware of it.

Take care!
