[QUOTE="PeteN11, post: 2222994, member: 516926"] Can I ask why you think your Liver would do a dump in these circumstances? Surely if it was able to it would have already done some dumping when your levels were getting low and before it becomes critical which is the way it works for those without diabetes. I have had a similar sort of question over the last few months regarding lows and why they happen to us and will try to remember to ask at my next appointment. I have always been told that my Pancreas is not working and therefore does not produce insulin, hence the highs. Fair enough but it has never been explained to me why the Liver does not help out with the lows????? Is it because the Liver needs the hormone Glucagon to stimulate it and that is, or was, produced by my now defunct Pancreas? [/QUOTE]
