[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2092277, member: 401801"] No-one said you were an alkie. ;) If your bloodsugars are low, normally, your liver dumps glucose to compensate. But it can't multi-task. It's either filtering alcohol, or dumping glucose, but it can't do both simultaniously, and filtering alcohol trumps dumping... So that could infuence your going low, but it's a bit long after the binge, -which wasn't hard liquor either- so that's slightly remarcable... You'd've had to have had a lot of it to still be filtering days later, I mean. And RH doesn't mean you're diabetic per definition, though some people with RH do develop T2 later on. Usually when someone mentions feeling hypo -[I]feeling[/I] hypo and [I]being[/I] hypo are different things- in the fives they are commonly recently diagnosed T2's whose bloodsugars are dipping into the normal range for the first time due to a diet change or medication.
