I am a little concerned that I'm not recognising the signs of a hypo like I used to. My pre-breakfast reading today for instance was 5.9. That was at 8.00. My insulin was half a unit over what should have matched carbs.(the current pens I have don't measure in half units...something I shall ask for when I need replacements). I have had a succession of phone calls and although I felt really hungry when I finally tested, I had no other symptoms. My reading had shot up to 12.2.so I can only assume that I went low and then my liver dumped glucose instead. Is that correct? At what point does the liver do that or is that just something that can happen at night? I thought I'd keel over if reading went too low or does the liver always help out?
Besides worrying about not recognising hypo coming on, I'd like to know, does it harm the body if you get into a pattern of the liver dumping glucose without you realising? sorry to ask so many questions. I just know I'll get a clear, informed answer on here.Thanks in advance for any advice.
