45 to 65 percent of your daily cal. intake should be from carbohydrates. If following a 1,500-calorie diet then 675 to 975 of those calories should be from carbs 168 to 240 grams of carbohydrate.

You may be experincing hypoglycemia. If you take insulin you may be taking too much for the amount of food you are eating. As insulin helps the glucose get to the cells and tissue.

A healthy diet should consist of adequate amounts of calories with carbohydrates, proteins, fat and plenty of fruits and vegetables to supply vitamins and minerals. Also when aiming at losing weight the protein intake may be slightly increased and the carbohydrate intake slightly lowered. The calorie requirement should also be adjusted for ones physical activities as well. Lower than adequate calorie intake can also cause weight gain, due to the stress hormones kicking in.

To find what works for you, get a BG meter, keep a log of
time - what you eat - BG
test before you eat, 1 hour after you eat, 2 hours after you eat. If BG is over 140 eat less carbs or take more drugs.

just checked what a ketogenic diet is, this type of diet is extremely unhealthy and damages livers of any person hbver or not
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet:
high fat damages the liver
adequate-protein is ok but from vegetable or little white meat, no red meat, no diaries
low-carbohydrate leads nowhere, it is processed and refined carbohydrates to increase blood glucose which makes damage, so the problems is refined cereals not not carbohydrates

He should be staying away from all carbohydrates including whole wheat bread and his diet should be fat and protein. You're hypoglycemic because of the drugs. If he's not yet on any drugs, and completely cuts out carbs, his glucose level would stabilize back to normal.
It's a tough diet tho. I managed for 2 days only. Couldn't stand the constant hunger. But for him, unfortunately, it's either that or drugs/insulin for the rest of his life.
PCOS is an imbalance of hormones, mainly the male hormones in the female, and can lead to obesity and insulin resistance, then diabetes. Your weight is good for your height. The recommended diet is consuming complex carbohydrates with protein to help lower the insulin resistance. As a vegetarian you eat complex carbohydrates (whole grain, vegetables) so you do not have much to change in your diet.
At a point of time you would see that it gets difficult to shed the remaining fat and here the diet comes as an important factor and you have to squeeze the carbohydrates but never decrease it less than 30-40% of your diet while actively exercising.
Continue some form of cardio in a regular manner for a healthy body all throughout your life.
Take care!
