Best Answer

During gastroenteritis and food posioning absorption of glucose from the digestive tract is decreased due to vommiting, diahorrea etc.

If the blood sugar levels are lower that the pancreas will respond by producing less insulin and more glucagon to ensure blood glucose levels are maintained at an adequate level.

Those suffering from type 1 Diabetes should, therefore, reduce their insulin intake to avoid becoming hypoglycaemic
