[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1566371, member: 355878"] I suspect that dehydration has a far larger impact on type 2 diabetics than we might realise and others expect. When others have written about feeling hypo I have asked if they might have been dehydrated and that seemed to chime with them. My suspicion is that there is a problem releasing glucose from the liver if there are alarm bells from the kidneys that water levels are low - so to protect the kidneys from damage trying to work with too little spare water, the liver closes down the glycogen conversion.
