Is this possible? |
Back to my college studies...Your liver can run out of glucose, I forget the exact amounts it can store and for how long, and how long it takes to replenish the store. But "carbo-loading" was done by many athletes (and still is done, actually) in order to load muscle stores of muscle glycogen and to a lesser extent to reload the liver's glucose stores.
SO...
If I remember right, you can literally dump your way out of one low and then have nothing left if you have another. Hmmmm...
