If low to absent total carbohydrate intake with insufficient hepatic gluconeogenesis, clinical signs of hypoglycemia can occur (e.g., lethargy, depression and seizures). Blood sugar concentrations below the normal laboratory reference interval (< 5 mmol/L) may be noted on serum biochemistry profiles.
