[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2119261, member: 365308"] Yes we do in fact Type 1 could be described as a failure of exogenous insulin to suppress those alpha cells. If too much insulin is present you could do yourself some serious damage before your glucagon kicks in which is why paramedics treat a serious hypo with glucagon. As anyone who has had a bad hypo knows, the 'hang over' feel of that hormonal kick is worse than any alcohol induced version! My binge drinking days are over but it is very easy to mistake a hypo for being drunk/disorderly so unfortunately I think type 1s have to be sensible by eating and testing more when drinking.
