[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1261437, member: 41816"] I think that anyone prone to unpredictable or unprevented hypos is irresponsible to drive. There have been a few times when my hypo behaviour has been seriously lacking in judgement. And back in the day, I KNOW that i drove a few times while feeling 'weird' - which i regret deeply. Never had an accident, thank goodness. And at the time, I didn't know how to predict or prevent the hypos. Of course this was also long enough ago that i didn't know self testing was possible, and before i discovered that low carbing would make me feel soooo much better and prevent the hypos. Even now, if I feel the slightest bit wonky, i test before getting behind the wheel, or ask Mr B to drive. I've been known to walk out to the car stuffing food in my face :) We had an RH poster once who was indignant that their consultant had stopped them driving. I thought it perfectly reasonable that an unsafe driver be prevented from endangering themself and others. [/QUOTE]
