Right you are Judi, although I can't see where I mentioned that it does?? Oh well, good point about the release of glucogon in response to lowered insulin levels. We must remember though, that glucagon can be a double-edged sword, since its other role is to stimulate the liver to release stored glycogen (sugar) into the blood when glucose levels are low ... Of course, the likely cause of low blood sugar is too high insulin .... ... 'tis a fine balancing act.
