[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2521283, member: 388932"] The strange thing is how our cognitive function is working enough to even be aware that this will not bode well, but not enough to keep us restrained. I can remember many details of hypos, even at times when they involved total memory loss. On one occasion, when I was a trainee organ builder, I had enough battery to go to my food bag, but I circled it like a caged leopard until another builder said "It's in the bag" and came to my assistance. It's the appalling feeling that you have a mouth full of iron filings or have a powerful magnet on your tongue, added to seismic tremors and unbelievable salivation. Not to mention auras, a needle- sharp headache and insatiable hunger. I reckon it takes 20 minutes at least for remedies to act and by then the brain has overriden any thought other than food. As a two-year-old I ate the soldiers, the egg, the shells, and even tried to eat the plate. I agree with [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] how horrible hypo's are, but I find them fascinating. [/QUOTE]
