However, diabetes does not usually damage the glucagon part of the pancreas, and diabetics also have glucagon in their body. In fact, a non-diabetic's liver will already produce this glucose when blood sugars go low, but a diabetic may have difficult either because of "hypoglycemia unawareness" (where the liver does not respond normally), or simply because there is far too much insulin in the blood because the diabetic took too much medication. http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/organ/glucagon_printer.htm   (226 words)      Glucagon and vasopressin V1a receptor signaling in hepatocytes from aging rats.
