I am living proof of this one. Before i was on the pump i had constant very severe lows. I used to joke that my meter's new favourite number was 1.9 mmol/L (35 mg/dl)! I was often surprized to see this kind of number on the screen too, since i didn't feel any symptoms of the low.

Then i went on the pump and literally stopped having lows. Then when i had the ocasional 3.8 mmol/L (68 mg/dl), i would feel it right away.

Of course, where i would disagree with you, Rzrbks, is that there was no cheating involved. I was improving my glycemic control. We tend to thing that higher glucose is bad and lower glucose is good, but that is not always the case, especially when you are experiencing hypoglycemia unawareness.
