Answers:
For the first bit, if you go without eating, your liver will shoot some sugar into your blood to keep your body going until you eat!. In non-diabetics, this is usually followed by a short burst of insulin from the pancreas so it doesn't sit and build up and can be used for energy!. Diabetics either don't produce insulin at all (type 1) or can't really use what insulin is produced, which is probably the case with you!. This is why diabetics should eat regularly!. Eventually, if you go without eating long enough, the liver will run out of its glucose stores, and blood sugar will drop!. It's also the basis for the "dawn phenomenon", when blood sugars spike first thing in the morning!. The adrenaline that wakes you up causes the liver to release glucose to help wake your body up and get moving before breakfast!.This is why glucagon doesn't work in the case of starvation!. It works to pull extra sugar from the liver to get the body going, and when the liver has nothing to give, glucagon can't do its job!.

So, yes!. It is normal for diabetics to see this!. I asked my doctor because I was having the same problem, and that was how he explained it to me!. Hope this helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The impairment in your insulin mechanisms is more severe than is typical!. You should try drinking chamomile tea with your meal!. Recent research from universities in Japan and the UK have determined that chamomile tea reduces blood sugar and complications from diabetes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
