Hi. I live in Australia. Hypo unawareness occurs in people in who have had diabetes for a long time or where you have had a significant hypo in the 24 hours previous. It can be dangerous. It takes 24 hours for the liver to regenerate it's stores of glycogen which is released naturally when the blood sugar falls, in an attempt to raise the blood sugar. If hypo unawareness causes concern for you, run your blood sugars a little high for a week which will enable you to recognise the symptoms next time they occur. I suffer quite badly and have seizures in the workplace from hypo unawareness, which is annoying and embarassing
