Have you read Dr Bernsteins Diabetic Solution?
My son has insulin resistance not diabetes (yet) so I got this book for the info I could glean about this. I strongly suggest you read it - I can't really paraphrase it here, but in case you haven't read it he place a great deal of emphasis on "small numbers"; that is knowing exactly how much a unit of insulin will lowere your blood sugar, how much a gram of carbs will raise it etc, so you don't get to the point of having dangerously low blood sugar. I realise that his approach requires you to keep a much closer eye on your blood sugar levels (at least initially) but I really think it's the way to go to avoid complications down the road.
I assume you mean that after taking glucose or whatever to correct the low blood sugar, you then feel you should go back on induction. At most I would think this would only have to be for a couple of days, if that. I have to say that if your blood sugar is dropping so low, it sounds as if you're having problems adjusting your insulin requirements to your new low carb life. If you're not taking in the carbs, your insulin requirements would obviously be lower.
Look, I realise that I'm on the outside looking in, and hopefully someone with more "real life" experience will answer this post. I'm sure you know all this stuff anyway, but a really recommend this book!
