Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in the UK when I was 23. I have been on insulin since then and overall with good control. For the past six years I have had an insulin pump that was issued to me in Ireland due to me running low quite a lot! My Hb1ac results have been good since on the pump 5.0 to 5.6 on average. My reason for the post is in relation to driving in the UK 3 years ago I moved from Ireland to Cyprus and I now have a pump upgrade here to CGM constant blood glucose monitoring. I have heard different things in relation to driving in the UK and am aware of glucose in the car and doing blood tests etc. curious as my Medtronic pump issued to me by Cyprus hospital has an alarm for low blood sugar which is set so it goes off if I am heading low at 4.4 ml. Since being on this type of pump it has been very effective and I have had no Hypo events! Over to you folks in the UK as it would be interesting to hear your views etc. I may be coming over soon and want to be up to gate so to speak. Also looks as if some of the rules are a bit over the top and possibly made by people without Medical expertise in the area.
