Morning all

Mine was 6.8..Safe level for driving should be above 5. You should carry a fast acting carb with you if you are driving and suspected low.

I'm on insulin, but my guidance was "four is the floor and five to drive".

 

[maria111979]

Above five to drive is the general rule I guess

6.8 mmol / L this morning.

From the DVLA document DIABINF:

Drivers with Insulin Treated Diabetes are advised to take the following precautions:
... if your blood glucose is 5.0mmol/l or less. take a snack. If it is less than 4.0mmol/l or you feel hypoglycaemic do not drive.

... you must not start driving again until 45 minutes after blood glucose returns to normal.
