[QUOTE="PeteN11, post: 2282908, member: 516926"] Some of the stuff you are saying is highly misleading and in part quite wrong. What you state above happens to people who are non diabetic. For most of us with T1 outside of the honeymoon period the Liver very rarely kicks in to keep glucose levels up during a Hypo. This is because the alpha cells in pancreas get confused when they detect Insulin in the body. If insulin is detected the body thinks BG must need reducing therefore no need for Glucagon to ask the liver to to raise that BG any more. T1's have too much injected insulin in their bodies for Glucogon to act the same as a non diabetic. Hypo's at any time of day are serious. Those happening during sleep can be fatal and should be referred to their consultants. To say otherwise is incorrect. [/QUOTE]
