Possible Tactic for Treating Hypoglycemic Lack of Awareness

Saw this article, and although I have a good awareness of hypoglycemia, I can see how it can be problematic for others. This offers a possible tactic to help kickstart the system into being able to recognize low blood sugar.

Conclusions/interpretation

These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that IAH develops in people with type 1 diabetes as a habituated response and that introduction of a novel stressor can restore, at least partially, the adapted counterregulatory hormonal, symptomatic and cognitive responses to hypoglycaemia.
