[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2223098, member: 372717"] Most T1s still produce glucagon (though T3cs with impaired pancreases may not) so they still have hypo protection from the liver. I think the problem occurs if the injected insulin is just too much for the liver (eg accidental overdose or liver impaired through alcohol). In general, though my pancreas no longer produces insulin it still produces other extremely useful hormones…. One reason why I wouldn't jump to have a pancreas transplant in the unlikely event that one was available. [/QUOTE]
