[QUOTE="Snodger, post: 193265, member: 27045"] ha, this is really interesting - I would not have guessed so many of us have experienced nirvana hypos. Patch asked what bg level they occurred at, and I can remember one of mine was about 2.3 or so, but I've had lots of hypos where I've been (sort of) functioning at a lower level and had nothing like a nirvana hypo. I have definitely had those middle of the night hypos where you write down the brilliant idea you had, and find in the morning that it's something like "chickens should wear hats! it would solve everything!" ho hum. yes, I am bonkers. I'd say though that the nirvana thing is on a different level from that. It's also very different from being drunk. You certainly don't feel aggressive in a nirvana hypo. Like others have suggested, it's more like a drug high, although I've never tried LSD so I'm only guessing that it's like that. I've read accounts of LSD trips which sound *exactly* like a nirvana hypo, and also accounts of people reaching enlightenment through meditation which sound the same (which is why I call it nirvana hypo). Does anyone know if research has been done on bg and insulin for drugs and/or meditation? Probably not - can't imagine them feeding diabetics LSD just to compare the experience with hypos... :lol: [/QUOTE]
