[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 2205477, member: 30007"] Just to add in my two penneth. There are a whole bunch of studies of hypo aware t1s, hypo unaware t1s and non-diabetic people that have had their glucose levels reduced in a clinical setting and given a variety of cognitive tasks to do. All have had the same issues. When clinically hypo, they're unable to do the tasks to the same level as when not, and what's interesting (as determined by Gold et al [[URL]https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?journal=Physiol+Behav&title=Hypoglycemia-induced+cognitive+dysfunction+in+diabetes+mellitus:+effect+of+hypoglycemia+unawareness&author=AE+Gold&author=KM+MacLeod&author=IJ+Deary&author=BM+Frier&volume=58&publication_year=1995&pages=501-511&pmid=8587958&][/URL] the guy who developed the hypo awareness test) is that those who are hypo unaware (and therefore more likely to spend more time at substantially lower levels) tend to have more acute cognitive dysfunction that lasts for longer as a result of time at lower levels. This is relevant in this case as you are deliberately running lower for longer. Those people expressing that low level hypos do not affect their cognitive ability are basically kidding themselves. You might not observe any difference in your ability but an outsider would be likely to, and all of the clinical evidence that has been gathered and reviewed runs counter to what you are saying.
