[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1732483, member: 53162"] Hi Jelaca, what sort of levels are you running at for driving ? How many hours a day are you driving ? I rely heavily on my car as I live in a rural area so it's vital for me to keep good control with driving, I prefer to be above 5.5 when I drive so I have some leeway with BG levels, if i'm driving for longer, say 2 hours I would aim to be above 6 mmol/l and of course any longer than 2 hours then I stop at test at 2 hours. I wouldn't deliberately run any higher if I can help it though. I know it's a fine balance but is there anything else stopping you from keeping good blood glucose levels in regards to driving, eg. fear of hypos ? [/QUOTE]
