The liver is unable to make much glucose from fat.
It can make some from amino acids from the breakdown of muscle.
If you have been following a low-carb diet, you may be running out of
muscle.
This would explain the lack of hunger.
We do become less hungry when we are breaking down muscle because of
running out of stored glycogen (aka body starch).
Be hungry... be healthy... be blessed:

You raise a very important question.Getting low blood sugars when we
are noton Diabetic meds can be caused by a number of mechanisms.
The number one sourse of quick balancing of blood glucose is through
our Livers.The glucose is stored as
Glycogen...Low carb diets will tend to reduce the amount of available
glucose from Glycogen and as the body has a difficult time converting
fat and protein into glucose there would be a tendency to low blood
sugar.
The second mechanism is through the STRESS response.The condition
hypoglycaemia is frequently associated with the Adrenergic fight
flight responce.This elevates the levels of epinephrine,
norepinephrine and dopamine which stimulate the uptake of glucose by
our cells ...leading to low glucose.
Finally ...There is a condition called glucagonoma...where the hormone
glucagon is secreted excessively by the Pancreas leading to low sugar
levels.

Indeed, very little glucose can come from fat (specifically from only
the released glycerol). Moreover, only a subset of amino acids from
proteins can be used to produce glucose.

This would ordinarily be more than offset by the production of glucose
by glycogenolysis when there are adequate glycogen stores so that
there is typically hyperglycemia during the adrenergic "fight or
flight" response in someone with insulin resistance (IR/MetS).

Very rare in a type-2 diabetic.

We are not discussing reactive hypoglycemic episodes but rather a
person reporting overall trends of FBG decreasing with low-carb
dieting.
