[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1903430, member: 30007"] [USER=490251]@Timostags[/USER] - much of the research that has been done shows that regular hypos under 3.0mmol/l causes hypo awareness issues. When you get below 2.5 your brain is unable to make correct decisions (again this has been studied with both trials and MRI scans). If you really don’t feel them till 2.5 or lower, then, for the safety of other road users, you need to surrender your license. You aren’t aware of something that impacts your ability to think and react, which can be lethal when driving. The upside is that there is a programme called “HART” which focuses on recovering hypo awareness, and you can seek referral for it through your team. Whilst we all fear loss of hypo awareness, we do have to be aware of the risks to others of it as well. You really should be talking to your DSN about the issues and about how they can help you recover. [/QUOTE]
