What do you mean by "very low"?

One year ago I lowered carbs, with a target of a maximum of 40% of daily calories from carbs. Results: 120 pounds lost, A1C from 8.1% (on Metformin and Actos) to 5.2% (no Actos, Metformin dose cut in half, and would not be surprised if my doctor suggests cutting it further when I see him next week).

Averages for this year so far: 2050 calories/day, 174g carbs/day (45g of which is added sugars), 112g protein/day. So that's an average of about 34% of calories from carbs (9% from added sugars), 22% from protein, and so 44% from fat.

Does this count as low carb?
