Recall of severe hypoglycaemia and self‐estimated state of awareness in type 1 diabetes

The ability of people with insulin‐treated diabetes to remember severe hypoglycaemia and the consistency of their self‐estimated awareness of hypoglycaemia are not well documented but are important in clinical practice. The aim of this study is to assess recall of severe hypoglycaemia in patients with type 1 diabetes and to evaluate the feasibility of a simple method for clinical classification of the awareness of hypoglycaemia.
