[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 339419, member: 36659"] Me too, I've had plenty of them and to be honest over the years when I used to suffer with night time Hypo's I was VERY thankful for my busy little Liver, as it got me out of the Schtuck a few times. I do actually evoke liver dumps at certain times in the month for long training sessions now when I am very insulin sensitive in my Cycle. I will reduce my Bolus by half and set off straight away on a very tough route with a VERY steep hill, so I am working for ten minutes at my maximum heart rate. This will always cause my Liver to dump Glucose and fetch me just up into double figures. I will then stop and test, take a couple of units and find I can easily complete 20+ miles without having to adjust, or even test now, or have any Glucose ect. Liver Dumps hang around much more than Glucose taken orally, which really works for me at certain times. If I did not do this at certain times in my Cycle to deal with the fluctuating Hormones levels, which in turn effect my Insulin sensitivity, then I would have to eat the Glucose which for me is not anywhere near as effective as a mild Liver dump. And I like to keep things as natural as possible. This is only at certain times of the month for me. But it works better than anything on very long runs...and obviously for me and my situation,it is also well tested. I'm not advocating it as part of anyones regime. You need to know all your Hormone fluctuations through proper testing. Andy, that is interesting you mention what your DSN said ,as mine said to correct for them and that a Liver dump takes an extra correction dose, which I did find I had to use extra insulin if I had one and was not "utilising" it in with my training/runs. I can't say I hypo'ed later at all if I ever did correct for them . When I used to get them in the night my BG would be up in the late 20's and so I had to correct for it. Thank goodness those uncontrolled Liver dump days are gone for me now, I hated them. How often do you get them Andy? Is it DP ? or because you have fasted? or gone low? [/QUOTE]
