[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2335702, member: 525839"] The only useful suggestion in this regard is to limit insulin injection amounts to a level that doesn't overwhelm liver glycogen stores. In the average person, the liver holds about 130 grams of glycogen. The similar amount of glycogen in muscles has to be used there and is no use during hypos. So if the carb:insulin ratio is say 1:10, glycogen stores will cover an extra 13 units of insulin. Many people inject way more than this, hence the additional risk. Risk that can be avoided by splitting basal and reducing boluses. Because of their effects on this system, more vigilance is required after exercise and/or alcohol too. [/QUOTE]
