Summary

This study looks at how repeated low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) changes the brain's ability to sense danger in people with type 1 diabetes. Researchers will use brain scans to measure sugar levels in the brain before and after causing mild low blood sugar episodes. The goal is to understand why some people lose the warning signs of low blood sugar, which can be dangerous. About 50 adults with type 1 diabetes who currently have normal low-blood-sugar awareness will take part.
