Hi Kirsten,
I also have a diabetic mother, that is part of the reason for starting this low carb dieting. I thought I might find a way to help her control her own problems. I also have felt lightheaded and weak on this diet. I have been on and off it for over two years now, I find that now I can get past the "weak" stage in about three days if I do EXTREME low carbing at first to get rid of my glycogen stores the up my carbs to about 25-30 a day until I start losing. If you have been doing the diet correctly and are still weak after a week then you may not be consuming enough calories. Try carrying around little bags of Macadamia Nuts they work great for energy boosters!
