[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2132304, member: 372717"] Same for me, my symptoms aren't nearly as severe, so I have to be more careful (and check more often). I'm one of those who became allergic to the libre so I'm stuck with blood tests, but I still feel "edgy" in the high 3s/low 4s and I have woken at night in the 3s. I'm concentrating on reducing my hypos so that I maintain my awareness. My specialist seems convinced that I'm not going to go blind/ lose limbs or kidneys etc, even though I'm running hba1cs in high 40s and low 50s (they were much higher when I was younger). 49 years T1 here, and though I'd love a "normal" hba1c it isn't worth living my life with perpetual hypos to attain it. (Plus, from bitter experience, I know a mid 40s hba1c results in loss of hypo awareness for me. Two T1 pregnancies and 8 months with a working libre both resulted in temporary lost awareness.)
