No, the main driver in preventing hypos is matching your insulin requirements to your carb intake. Cutting carbs can make this perhaps easier. The reason I jumped on your advice was because you were advocating reducing carb intake to someone who was already having a lot of hypos and yet you made no mention whatsoever about reducing insulin intake. And then you even suggested more exercise - something that will certainly cause hypos if you're not adequately prepared.

Your advice will be useful once the initial problem is sorted out but would have made Neil's QOL much much worse at this stage.
