[QUOTE="Snodger, post: 238664, member: 27045"] I know, it's very odd isn't it? T2s with the stress-hypo thing may be reacting to stress by putting out a bit more insulin, but for those of us who aren't producing insulin at all, the only reason I can think of would be to do with the liver. Normally the liver chucks out a drip drip of background sugar. Most people's livers respond to stress by chucking out more background sugar to help fuel their muscles in a fight or flight situation. BUT! When you stress the liver out in other ways - eg by giving it alcohol to detox - its priorities change. It deals with the alcohol first and then goes back to sending out background sugar. Could our livers be somehow wired up a bit wrong (technical term there) and reacting to stress by shutting down what they see as less essential functions? [/QUOTE]
