I was always going hypo before meals, especially lunch and having to eat at exact times was a pain. A basal /bolus regime aka MDI will give you more flexibility, and on the correct insulin, should also mean less unexpected hypos.   When you were on animal insulins were you also on a mixture?As for hypo-unawareness, it can be associated with synthetic insulins and perhaps a change back to animal insulin on a basal/bolus regime might solve both problems.best of luckJus</blockquote>
