[QUOTE="alaska, post: 2044714, member: 14213"] Yes. In my late twenties, I had poor hypo awareness. I was starting to cycle through what were new hypo symptoms then which were coming on only when very low (2.8, 2.6, ...). Buzzing in the ears was a weird one. Feeling like I was cycling back and forward through time was the most weird and unsettling one. This was getting nasty and I was having severe hypos at work causing seizures. I responded by doubling down on my control efforts. Ended up trying low carb. I attained much better control and the hypo awareness came back. It's hard to say how long it took because I wasn't struggling with lows (and is now over a decade ago since I struggled with hypo awareness). I think things got better reasonably quickly. I wasn't doing the thing where people try to get their blood sugars higher to avoid lows, I was just taking smaller doses, thanks to fewer carbs, which prevented me regularly facing sharp drops in blood sugar. Possibly some of what helped was, having more time to spot symptoms . If I did go low, the lows came on more slowly, so I had a bit ore time to react. Because I wasn't going too high so often, I wasn't tired all day. Therefore, if I started to get tired, I could recognise this as a hypo -rather than what before was a near-permanent state of being (eek). So, short summary. Yes, I regained hypo symptoms. It probably took a few months. I was fortunately able to cut out the sharp drops in blood sugar and the very low levels from happening, which I believe was probably handy for regaining hypo awareness. [/QUOTE]
