Hi, I have type 2 for 6 years (age 56 now), Originally on metformin, 3 tablets a day, but now off them completely. 12 months Test 41. Does anyone know whether training without eating may be harmful. I did it as an experiment , 12 hours after evening meal, get up and go for a tough 3 mile run up and down hills. When I returned home by sugars was 7 so had to wait a few hours before eating at 5.6. The liver obviously kicked in to stop me going too low, is this good practice or could i be harming my liver?

No you're not harming your liver, you're asking it to do exactly what is should be doing under those circumstances.
By running fasted you're using stored energy, which as long as you don't over eat following is an effective way to reduce weight overall.
Though why you would want to run hills in the morning is beyond me, what's wrong with a nice steady run at that time of the dark?

Thanks for that Dave .I am on holiday in Spain at the moment so an early run on the hills of the Costas is the only way( 37 C is a bit ho)t. Also I find when I am in a hot country my blood sugars tend to be lower and easier to control.. The effects of heat on blood sugars, thats another interesting one!!
