I'm very very aware when my blood sugar is low but I can still function nearly normally.
Whenever I mention this to professionals they all immediately says that is because I've become hypo unaware and they will never countenance any other explanation.
For years I've kept my HbA1c consistently between 5 and 6 and have gradually learnt to live with the effects of less blood sugar. Sometimes that level may fall below 2 but I can still think rationally enough to eat. It has been over twelve years since I've had a diabetic hypo coma and needed someone else to help.
Despite what diabetic specialists say I believe that it is possible to train your brain to become used to being low on blood sugar, even though it may take a very long time. Has any other fellow T1 had a similar experience?
