--- "The only thing that can still cause hypoglycemia for me on this way of eating is consuming too much protein... If I eat more than that, I get milder but similar symptoms to those I had when I ate carbs."

That's the "toxic hunger" side-effect symptoms that I was talking about. Eating too much animal protein will cause toxic withdrawal symptoms, basically drug withdrawal symptoms, and those symptoms just happen to be very similar as hypoglycemia symptoms. See here:

Fat alone doesn't cause high blood sugar, but it causes it when you eat too much fat with a diet based on carbs. You are skirting around it by keeping your carb intake so low that carbs don't play a factor.

Civilizations who were traditionally high-carb/low-fat never had obesity/diabetes problems until they started adding more fat to their high-carb staple.

China is seeing diabetes skyrocket lately because they are becoming wealthier and are able to afford adding more meat that's naturally higher in fat to their traditional high-starch based diet of rice and noodles.

"The study did not pinpoint the causes of the rise in diabetes, and Koplan said he could only speculate on what's to blame. He said that it's been well documented that people are getting wealthier and heavier in China and diets are including more saturated fat."

Saying you're problems started when you were eating a diet "relatively low in fat", well that's a very subjective saying and since your current diet is so high in fat, even the average American's diet will be relatively low in fat compared to your extremely high in fat diet.

These "low-carb" diets are not natural for humans to subsist on. The eskimo example that they were healthy on a high-fat diet has been debunked and if you look at our closet cousins in the wild, the Bonobo chimpanzees, they subsist on a diet very high in fruit (carbs), moderate amount of vegetables, and only a small amount of meat/insects and they don't get fat or develop diabetes.

If you look at the link my other post, you'll see the Science of how too much fat slows glucose absorption.

I recommend you test this yourself by going on a low-fat diet for a few weeks to a month as it's the only way to truly know. "Low-fat" is anything less than 20% calories from fat and the experts in the low-fat field think it should be even lower at around 10%.

I also recommend to play it safe and avoid all overt-fats for the first few weeks to month to ensure you're not accidentally including too much fat in your diet. Don't worry though, all foods have fatty acids in them, so it won't be a "no-fat" diet. You'll still be averaging around 5% fat for this temporary introduction phase.

Everyone who started eating this way has significantly improved from their health problems.
