Illness and elevated BG

One of the 'perks' of having diabetes is that you can always tell when you're going to be ill in a couple of days because your BG decides to rocket up for no apparent reason. I was just wondering if anyone knew precisely why this happens.

As far as I'm aware, the raise is caused by liver dumping - is this true? I was also wondering if anyone could shed any light on why the body reacts in this way.
