[QUOTE="teasytux, post: 2205938, member: 32376"] Hello Tom58 & all who've replied, Just to say, experiences talked about are very much familiar! I'm Type1, 46yrs now & used to get all the traditional signs & symptoms at a young age to my mid teens & mainly lost now. As I've gotten older, eat less carbs (65g daily avg), focused on bm control with an average Hba1c 43 - 45. I have lows caused from gastroparesis & neuropathy where my bm falls to low 2's but I'm fully cognitive & able to treat. I test often with the Libre & catch most lows mid to high 3's with some high 2's thrown in at times. I'm always fully able to treat & cognitive. My consultant gave me a telling off in Nov 2019, saying I have to get my Hba1c higher, to 48-50! I admit my hypo recognition is generally gone but I sometimes get some signs I'm going low. I am sure I have lost brain cells from hypos, my memory is terrible some days. It's embarrassing when stopping mid sentence as my memory has fogged up & I cannot retrieve the memory, name, word or whatever..I guess age plays some part too! I'd like to do a test of some sort just to see how much I'm affected from past hypos, if such a test exists? I believe we should test bm much & with the Libre sensor & cgm's, that's much easier now (if you're able to afford or are funded). I've dropped a half unit of hourly basal insulin & changed my insulin to carb sensitivity in an attempt to stop my lows & noticed a drop.. Its the neuropathy though that throws a spanner in the works! A good topic raised! Best wishes, Tux :) [/QUOTE]
