[QUOTE="PeteN11, post: 2282992, member: 516926"] That is probably because you did not read or understand what I wrote. The Liver will not release glucose whilst there is insulin in the body. It doesn't do it for non diabetics and it does not do it for T1's. Non diabetic insulin/Liver glucose release is produced on a minute by minute basis whereas T1's normally inject a dose of insulin to last all day and then even more after meals. So even when a Hypo occurs the Liver does not intervene because the pancreas hasn't asked it to. With no insulin in our bodies the liver can go on to produce glucose but the levels are inconsistent due to the fact that pancreas isn't functioning as it should be. You only have to look at the read out from the original post. If the Liver was allowed to save us from Hypo's why did it not intervene at around 5am when the BG was starting to get too low? If it took 4-5 hours for the Liver to step in then Non diabetics would be suffering from Hypo's as well. [/QUOTE]
