[QUOTE="AchillesHeel, post: 145639, member: 26954"] This is an interesting discussion for we are all concerned about hypos. I would have to say that I fervently believe that frequent severe hypos DO cause damage to the body/brain. The trauma that is experienced from a hypo leading to loss of consciousness is ample enough evidence for me (& for my family!). Have enough of these traumatic events & the damage starts. There seems to be little research on this. It's a bit like saying, loss of sleep will cause no irreparable damage to the body. Well it does - in many insiduous ways that accumulate over time. I find it a bit hard to understand how anyone can argue that hypos are nothing to worry about & that damage only seems to happen to animals, etc. :?: :shock: If hypos are the price we have to pay for surviving on insulin, then let's be cognizant of this. However let's not pretend that these costs may not hurt us at the same time ... It's a tightrope balancing act unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
