[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2513445, member: 372717"] Is that T2s though? Once you are on insulin losing hypo awareness can be an issue if you have too many hypos so you do have to be careful. When I last lost mine my doctor told me to aim for 6-12 to regain it , which is still in my GP notes when I order prescriptions, though I aim for 4 to 10 for as much time as possible now because I have a dexcom G6 to warn me if I go too low and thus prevents too many hypos. But in the past, pre cgm, I've regularly lost hypo awareness when keeping my levels lower (generally an hba1c 48 or less) so it just wasn't worth it. Having said that, I had no problems with hypo awareness in my first 20 years of T1, so length of diabetes may also come into it. And some people seem to happily achieve far lower levels than mine without issue, but if you lose hypo awareness it is all too easy to have a major hospital inducing hypo. [/QUOTE]
