AB This article presents data showing that men with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with impaired hypoglycemia awareness (HA) have different brain activation patterns than do patients with intact HA. Patients with T1DM who are unable to sense that they are hypoglycemic have less activation of brain regions involved in the stress response, autonomic activation, and emotional salience.
