You have to remember that hypos can increase the risk of motor vehicle accidents. Would any doctor be prepared to sign a continuance of driver's license with such low HBA1Cs? They have a responsibility to the community at large to not certify drivers who may be at risk.
Doctors will not be using just knowledge out of a textbook but I agree not all are up-to-date !!
Hi kitedoc,
Yes of course a hypo is dangerous whether when driving or in any other situation and I hope I didn't insinuate otherwise. I know a Dr would never sign a continuance of a license when he looks at an hba1c in isolation because that hb1 is indicating to him that it has been achieved through a combination of highs & lows. My point was that an individual with an hb1 in the 30s would know whether they go below 4 by the use of a libre BUT a Dr will never take a personal record as proof of anything, thus they go by the 'text'. I fully understand why.
