[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 94994, member: 7788"] Hi, Going as low as 1.4 without symptoms is a real concern. Unfortunately hypo-unawareness and synthetic insulins do seem to go hand in hand for some people. I've been type-1 for 20 years and apart from 1 night time coma which was completly misjudged of my short-acting, I can honestly say I've never registered a BG that low. You need to research what medication your daughter is taking; you will be aware that it is synthetic insulin not insulin, and although it mimics the blood sugar-lowering qualities of 'natural' insulin, it does lack in other ways. It is certainly not normal for type-1s should not lose their hype-awareness until after many years of having the conditon; although patients who were forced onto synthetic insulins in the 80s from animal animal insulins reported loss of hypo-awareness. You really need to speak to your daughter's doctor about this one, I can quite understand how frightened she must be feeling. Jus [/QUOTE]
