I will be finally repatriatng to UK next month from Thailand and would like to know the legal position for diabetic drivers regarding what the Police view as too low or too high blood sugar levels if stopped by the Police or in an accident?
I believe they view a hypo under 5 as too low and could prosecute you. Is this the lowest level? And if a hyper was felt, what is too high for them? I know one has to check before driving and then every 2 hours or so, despite doctors now being reluctant to prescribe too mant test sticks. Incidentally, I can buy test sticks and insulin over the counter here in Thailand at many chemists without prescription. Await your responses with thanks.
