Message: <blockquote data-quote="janabelle" data-source="post: 148218" data-attributes="member: 7788">Thanks Ken,As a long-term type-1 I am well aware of the effect of the liver producing glucose in reaction to illness, stress, etc, resulting in higher BGs during illness and stressful periods, and in some cases after exercise.  Howevever the term "liver dump" is a recent and overused, possibly innacurate term for unexplained high BGs in type-1s.   There are many other reasons for unexplained high BG levels, being on an inuslin medication that isn't doing it's job is just as likely an explanation. Unfortunately my BG levels have gone low enough to put me in a coma after taking Actrapid with my evening meal about 13 years ago. I didn't wake, but luckily my husband found me unconscious in the early hours and called an ambulance, hence the reason I am here to tell the tale.Jus</blockquote>
