Low BG sensitivity is related to both the time one has had diabetes and the level - number of- and time since one had a low bg. With a severe low we lose a lot of the ability to sense the next low coming on. I have read with a low under 50 it can take up to 6 days before the sensitivity returns. Also with time it fades a lot. There is sort of a scale on the time you may lose your sensitivity with level you drop to.
With the pump and variable basals most of us find we suffer far fewer lows than we did with MDI. Long acting Insulins are not all that predictable and they can't be set up to vary with the time of day. That improves the ability to detect a low coming on. Of course they don't go away. We are still managing a storm and there are too many things that can a do go awry.
