[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2291587, member: 525839"] It is worth noting that the average liver contains about 130 grams of glycogen. A similar amount is stored in muscle but can't get into the bloodstream, so no use during a hypo. Eating very low carb is thought to reduce liver glycogen by up to 50%, but because of reduced insulin dosage this is generally not a problem. Exercise depletes muscle glycogen, leaving liver glycogen intact. So in the absence of other complicating factors, there will be automatic recovery from moderate hypos. But there are no guarantees. The best way to reduce risk is to minimise insulin action, especially at night. [/QUOTE]
