Not totally. It's not the liver that causes "fight or flight" and theres new
info that the liver isn't the cause for DP. (no I don't have any cites other
then the copy of the AACE paper that my endo gave me, which I don't
know is on their site or not yet.. was introduced at their last conference)

Also, liver and food aren't the only sources of glucose in the body. Your
newbie status is showing.
