[QUOTE="tom58, post: 2204109, member: 49969"] A stern telling of from two moderators... must try harder:) I have NOT lost hypo awareness. I know perfectly well when I'm low. Usually I eat something quickly but there are times when that is not possible and I go very low. What I'm trying to say is that fifty years ago I would have been completely incapacitated by a BS of 2. Today I'm still OK in the sense that I'm aware of my state and am able to do something about it. That is why I think the brain might learn to tolerate lower blood sugar levels over time, if only as an act of self preservation. Of course one shouldn't be complacent about this. Of course one should stop all activity and get nourishment. I get it... In fact I got it a long time ago. But if I ever try to discuss this phenomenon all I ever end up with is well intentioned lectures. That is why I started this thread; to see if anyone else has had the same experience. [/QUOTE]
