[QUOTE="AmandaD, post: 1231496, member: 199116"] I lost all hypo awareness during my second pregnancy its taken me 5 years to get it back and even now its not fully back to where it was. Higher blood sugars helped. I am quite sensitive to insulin so minute changes are all I need to see an effect. I've a CGM and thats the only thing that helped really cos I can see what my blood sugar is doing all the time. I use more extended boluses now than I did before to avoid going low. My blood sugar tends to drop very rapidly and during exercise I have to use temporary basal rates sometimes as low as 10% to avoid a drop. I try and not have a blood sugar over 10 as to me thats high enough, maybe if I'd runt hem higher I would've got my awareness back sooner ?? [/QUOTE]
