[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1584149, member: 295621"] Often when we hypo, the liver throws out a heap of its glycogen stores to "give us a hand", so to speak. The liver has to replenish its glycogen stores once they've been reduced - and it will do that by robbing glucose from your blood stream. So that's a possible reason for your persistent hypos today. Basically, you woke on a hypo so your liver was already a little empty. Then you bloused normally for your meals, yet your liver was already stealing some of the glucose from your blood stream. The result in my experience is recurring lows throughout the day. I used to be really bad for correcting rebound highs, which only worsened further lows. I may be totally wrong, but always worth thinking about. [/QUOTE]
