[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1256187, member: 295621"] I think hypo-awareness can be restored over time. It would take more than running high however, more like running "normal", consistently, for a good number of weeks/months with absolute minimal hypos. And when these hypos do happen, they need to be treated fast so that the body doesn't get used to the feeling of having low BG. It's a lot easier said than done though. It's the tightrope that us diabetics try to balance on every single day. It might be a good idea to start by understanding why your daughter is having too many hypos. Be it increased exercise, stress, uncorrected basal/bolus doses, a change in I:C ratio, etc, etc. A handy tool (and a cheaper alternative to the Dexcom G5) would be a Libre. Although you wouldn't have the CGM data you'd need for hypo detection/alarms. You'd get a good picture of when the hypos are most frequent and if there is a trend to them. Such as always after dinner, during the night at a certain time, etc. Good luck. Grant [/QUOTE]
