Hi
@arniemouse just to say I have had to surrender my driving licence as I have no hypo awareness. They told me if I regain awareness I will just need to get my consultant to write confirming.
I drop well under 2 and have no symptoms. I only occasionally get pronounced facial numbness, which in my opinion is not a hypo symptom, but a sign that my brain is so deprived of sugar it has actually stopped recognising that my nose is attached!
If you are aiming to regain awareness, you will need to run higher. You need to teach your body it is not normal to be under 4. It needs to think falling under 4 is something to panic about - which will mean a release of adrenaline & trigger hypo warning symptoms. At the moment, you body thinks it's normal to be under 4, so you get no adrenaline, no warning signs and should you be unlucky enough to go unconscious your liver dump to bring you back round would be slower.
I'm really really sorry for saying it as if the answer is easy. While the theory of running higher sounds simple, I am painfully aware that putting it in to practice is not.
