Inclusion criteria

Type 1 diabetes mellitus for more than 5 years complicated by the following situations that persist despite intensive insulin management efforts:
At least one episode of severe hypoglycemia in the past 3 years defined as an event with symptoms compatible with hypoglycemia in which the subject required the assistance of another person, and which was associated with either a blood glucose level <50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration
Reduced awareness of hypoglycemia, defined by the absence of adequate autonomic symptoms at capillary glucose levels of <54 mg/dL (3 mmol/l) as reported by the subject
