Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) is common in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is an important clinical problem which leads to increased risk of severe hypoglycaemia, increased morbidity and mortality and decreased quality of life. Despite this, objective methods to screen for IAH are not in routine clinical use. Education plays a central role in the potential reduction of IAH.
