Parts of the brain have been identified that alter the capability of some people with type 1 diabetes to spot hypoglycemia, King’s College London scientists report. Hypo unawareness, clinically known as Impaired Awareness of Hypoglycaemia (IAH), develops when a person with type 1 diabetes cannot identify symptoms of low blood sugar, leading to an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia.
