1. Some confusion here, didn't Europe introduce this law in the first place? 2. Higher blood sugar levels through the night means bad control, you would do this to keep your driving liscence. 3. Also when you are awake to take sugary food, when you are asleep you are asleep!!! So why did Europe...

Thanks for the converter Azure. Always two measurements systems and never just one!

What Is 85 - 100 or 95% ? I though blood sugars range from 1.8 to 44. 1.8 extremely low and 44 extremely high. With around 5.7 being Ideal. Is the other scale new, American or used on pumps?

Do you mean 4.1 not 41. When I measure my blood levels it ranges from 1.8 to 24. (Extream from low to high). Don't understand the other way of measuring blood gloucose levels. Is there another scale? But 4.1 is good but probably indicates you have good control rather than be cured? But...

Thanks robert72 So really in an ideal world you should have a spare sensor ready just in case one falls off. Or just go back to pricking your finger while a new sensor arrives. It's all down to how much you can afford.

Why does the DVLA link all hypo's with the ability to drive? If you have a severe hypo whilst you are asleep during the day or in the night when you are in bed, why should this count towards the DVLA question regarding severe hypo's? It's like asking Usain Bolt to run the olympics...

I have type 1 diabetes and had trigger finger on my left hand wedding finger. My GP refered me to a private hospital with NHS funding to see a hand specialist, the specialist (May have been commision lead) suggested I have the operation. He went through the steriod options but said in his...
