[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2335945, member: 372717"] I think most T1s allow their liver to save them in the sense that [B]brittle diabetes[/B] can occur in those people who don't have a working glucagon/glycogen loop. Mild hypos occur very often for T1s who are trying to keep their bgs at normalish levels, but sudden severe bg drops can be catastrophic and life destroying. I hate hypos more than anything else about T1, but if I want to maintain good bgs I'm stuck with occasional mild ones. Brittle diabetes would be a nightmare. [/QUOTE]
