[QUOTE="WuTwo, post: 2060512, member: 87354"] I got my awareness back by deliberately running my levels high for a few months. It is a problem for those who prefer to run bloods at low levels - it doesn't take much of a drop to find yourself hypo and too many hypos = loss of awareness. Thankfully I got it back and in a way I learned my lesson. I run my bloods low but keep an eagle eye on the carbs because (with thanks to Dr Bernstein) small amounts = small mistakes... I count every gram of carb I munch, and my ratios are individualised for each meal (took a LOT of testing), but it means that if I do muck things up, I don't go as low as I could. Today's huge brekkie was 10.4g of carb, and 2 units of humalog - if I have made a mistake well, how low can 2 units push me after dealing with the breakfast... Not recommending being a total numbers nerd to everyone; it wouldn't suit most, but it totally suits me and helps me keep my bloods on the fairly straight and narrow. [/QUOTE]
