I was diagnosed a few months ago as T1 and am now on mixed insulin with good bg levels ranging between 5-9mmol. Having not had the chance of going into the science behind diabetes, there's something I don't understand. I know the pancreas and liver work hand in hand, one producing the insulin and the other the glucose in order to keep our bg levels where they should be, but what I don't understand is why, when we inject insulin to replace the pancreas function, doesn't the liver release glucose to counteract the hypos. Forgive me for being thick, I'm sure there's a simple explanation. Please don't blind me with science
