Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) is defined as a diminished ability to perceive the onset of hypoglycaemia. IAH effects approximately 25% of people with type 1 diabetes and significantly increases their risk of severe hypoglycaemia. Since the seminal work of Heller [nearly 30 years ago we have known that the primary driver towards the development of IAH is prior exposure to repeated episodes of hypoglycaemia. However, we still do not know why repeated hypoglycaemia leads to a raising of individual thresholds (lower glucose) for the counterregulatory response (CRR) to subsequent hypoglycaemia.
