A very serious complication of diabetes known as Hypoglycemia Unawareness (HU), occurs when the a person is unable to feel the usual symptoms of low blood sugar: trembling, sweating, nausea, inability to articulate or function. HU is a serious matter that everyone affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) should be informed about. Steven Edelman, MD, founder, Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD) and Bill Polonsky, PhD, founder of Behavioral Diabetes Institute (BDI) will address the medical and psycho/social aspects of hypoglycemia and will also shed light on the dangers of hypoglycemia unawareness, especially during the night. They will share useful information and resources to help navigate through the complexities of this issue. This is a can’t miss event for all adults with T1D and adults who have loved ones with T1D!
