[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1480447, member: 32394"] Glipaizide is a sulphonyureas. Here's some information on the driving restrictions that apply when taking this type of medication - [URL]http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk/Services/Podiatry/Documents/Diabetes-and-Driving.pdf[/URL] - you should wait 45 minutes after blood sugar has come over 4, with keys out of the ignition. While tablets can cause hypos it seems rather unusual to be having unconcious hypos from sulphonyureas. Did you have hypo symptoms to warn you of this event? Did you test your blood sugar before/after/during? Have you reported your unconcious hypo to your healthcare team? It's worth checking to see if your medication needs reducing (ie if you have drastically changed diet since prescription) or if something else caused the unconcious episode. [/QUOTE]
